Big Phil, 50, wins 6th Major in a triumph for the ages

The pandemonium closed in around Phil Mickelson as he walked toward the 18th green at Kiawah Island, where thousands of euphoric fans wanted a piece of the history he delivered on Sunday in the PGA Championship. A major champion at age 50, the oldest in the 161 years of major championship golf. “I don’t know how to describe the feeling of excitement and fulfillment and accomplishment to do something of this magnitude when very few people thought that I could,” Mickelson said after his historic win.
