KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. — With a victory at the P.G.A. Championship on Sunday, Phil Mickelson, who will turn 51 next month, became the oldest golfer to win a major championship. The oldest previously was Julius Boros, who was 48 when he won the 1968 P.G.A. Championship.
Mickelson shot six under par for the tournament, finishing two strokes ahead of the runners-up, Brooks Koepka and Louis Oosthuizen.
It was Mickelson’s sixth major title, something only 14 male golfers have achieved. Mickelson was the seventh to reach that total since 1964. Mickelson has won the Masters tournament three times and was the British Open champion in 2013. Sunday’s victory was his second P.G.A. Championship title. He has finished second at the United States Open six times.

YAY!
I didn’t know he was MAGA friendly. I do know that the local sports talk radio drizzles hate his guts. Things such as “He has man boobs, is insincere, always pretending to be gracious, and he signs autographs to gain notoriety.”
All the usual things haters write and say about well known persons. Or should I say Libtards.
That is why I decided to follow him while watching golf. As Tiger was busting clubs, cursing on camera, Phil just played golf. He is not afraid to “go for it” when laying up is what the announcers called for. I love this news.
awesome! watched most of the last two rounds online. Phil’s my dad’s favorite golfer, after Arnold of course. he’s smiling down from heaven.
A great victory!
that early sand shot holed set the tone
Well, Koepka was a real ass in his post round interview. Made excuses, but he got beat by a 50 year old.
It is always nice to see the ‘old man’ show the kiddies how it is done.
Left on.
[And what’s with the two dudes in the back?]
Lol! I see that. What’s that about?
Loved it!
Congrats to Phil.
Oldest major winner.
At least she’s upfront about it :)
Boom!
She’s here all week, folks.

What did Phil have to say when the anti Freedom, anti United States, woke PGA took the tournament away from Trump’s Golf Course? Just a bunch of phony athletes just like the rest. Phil’s got his so why should he care?
Rude.
She s breast cancer survivor
Ha!!!
I thought then ... that’s the kind of shot that can win a tourney!
She sure is.
