Chalk one up for the old guys!
From the NY Times:
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.
