What an absolute baller of a situation for Mickelson. The dude is 50 and he just won the PGA Championship!
Stop and think about how insane that is for a moment. He’s 50-years-old and just iced an entire field of guys younger than him!
What a moment ???? @PhilMickelson

I’m not even a huge golf guy, and this moment is giving me chills. Mickelson has been around for seemingly forever, and he just pulled off an accomplishment we might not see again for a long time.
I simply can’t get over the fact that he won the PGA Championship at his age. It’s downright incredible.
