KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C.—Phil Mickelson turned back the clock to secure a two-shot victory over Brooks Koepka and South African Louis Oosthuizen at the PGA Championship on Sunday and become the oldest major winner in history aged 50.

Mickelson, who began the day with a one-shot lead over Koepka, put the finishing touches on one of the most impressive feats in golf with a one-over-par 73 at the Ocean Course that left him at six under on the week.



When Mickelson's approach shot safely found the green at the final hole a wild scene ensued as adoring fans raced to follow one of the game's all-time greats up the fairway and completely enveloped him in a frenzied swarm.



Security officials eventually had to step in to create a narrow path for Mickelson to navigate his way to forward where he two-putted from 16 feet (4.9 meters) to seal the win.



"Truly inspirational to see @PhilMickelson do it again at 50 years of age. Congrats!!!!!!!," 15-times major champion Tiger Woods, who is home recovering from serious leg injuries suffered in a February car crash, wrote on Twitter.

That's OK, most don't .. . but a great achievement vs. all the odds (age in a young man's league)  is a  great achievement



Fo those who don't know, a Pro Tournament is based on total score for a full game over 4 consecutive days  - (18 holes x 4 = 72 holes)

Yes. When I have time will tell some stories about when my gandfather in law was the local promoter  ... so as a young child I got backstage to meet and get to know some of the great names of that era  .. the ones on big city TV on the weekends .. most all were gentle souls in real life, loved kids  and treated me special



It was great fun to sit ringside and loudly pick the winner of  the current "match"  . . and be right every time    ac_biggrin .. I always went home with a pocket full of nickels ... the adults would not bet higher with a child
