MICKELSON BECOMES THE OLDEST MAJOR WINNER AT PGA CHAMPIONSHIP


Phil Mickelson made history by winning the 103rd PGA Championship, becoming the oldest major champion in history. The Hall of Fame player finished two shots ahead of Brooks Koepka and Louis Oosthuizen at Kiawah Island's Ocean Course, following an excellent final round performance, finishing six-under for the tournament.

On the final day, Mickelson started with just a shot ahead of Koepka, the competition tightened up even more in the early holes of Sunday's round. As the pressure was on, Oosthuizen's birdied to reduce the gap.

SUFI SUPER YACHTS

Then Mickelson produced a 366-yard drive on the 16th hole, the longest drive on that hole by any player all week. It resulted in an all-important birdie, once again stretching his lead to three shots, which nervously was reduced to two, moments later.

The scene on the final hole was amazing. Surrounded by thousands of fans, Mickelson two-putted his name into the history books. By winning at aged 50, Mickelson surpassed the record previously held by Julius Boros, who won the PGA Championship in 1968 at age 48. The victory is the sixth major title of Mickelson's long and storied career, with his previous PGA Championship coming 16 years ago in 2005.
