Oldest player to ever win a major. Well done Phil.

Shades of January 6th

lol

I'm all for excitement but my gosh, the fans shouldn't get close enough to touch the players and the players need to get where they need to go on the course without interference.

Brooks legit should be pissed at that 18 crowd stuff.
It took him like 10 minutes to get to the green and he wasn’t completely out of it yet.

Good for Phil though. Maybe he gets to be on one last Ryder Cup.

Phil probably wishes he got this run at the Us Open to get the career grand slam but that course is super hard well done.
Torrey Pines for the Us Open should be cool.

 

[upperdeck]

well it also means Phil gets 5 more tries a the US open without any worries about prepping or asking for special exemption

 

[rrlbees]

Whoever is in charge of security needs to get their ass chewed out. That scene on 18 was outrageous. Phil looked like he had people climbing on him.

it was worse for Koepka. Took him forever to get through the crowd. In his interview just now he was pissed. Said his knee got banged a few times. His caddie got knocked and fell into his. He swore a few times. He thinks someone tried to hit his knee on purpose

Phil at age 50 looks/seems so much younger than Nicklaus at age 46 when he won the 1986 Masters.

Agreed. I was wondering "Where's Brooks?" before the dumbass announcers were. That was all very poorly managed.

 

[Cowtown]

Good for him. I'm not a real Phil guy, but this is a good story and it's good for golf. I'm hoisting one for him tonight.

 

[jncuse]

I got some insider information and laid big on Phil Mickelson to win. Had to take some shot at Phil given my past dislike for him that has mellowed in recent years.

A legacy setting win. Great stuff

They were totally unprepared for it. Which should have never been the case given that they knew fans would be crazy for Phil winning.

Probably should take a lesson from the British Open. They traditionally allow this to happen on the 18th but they do some prep to make sure the players are protected and the fans are not basically hanging on the green.

Probably should have of had better security, but I dont have any sympathy for a guy that probably made a million dollars this week to play golf and take a bump on his knee.Deal with it Brooks!

Mickelson's historic performance at 2021 PGA Championship drew social media attention

Reactions pour in as the 50-year-old becomes the oldest major champion in golf history.

Are you friends with Phil's sister?

I don’t blame him for being mad. That was handled really badly.

Hope Brooks is okay. He can be hard to like but when he is healthy, he is a hell of a golfer.

yup night and day how much better in shape guys now are than what a 50 yr old 35 yrs ago was.. the whole concept of getting and staying in shape and eating and working out barely existed especially for golfers back then.

Plus Phil is probably in his best shape since his 20's. He crushed that one bomb 366 yards. Longer than anyone else in the field. He wasn't always a workout junkie and I think it held him back somewhat. But good for what he has accomplished.

on top of that the courses play a ton shorter even while being much longer. you also have to wonder how much equipment helps these guys play better longer on their careers.. so many more options for clubs and shafts and balls and the way they can optimize things even down to the putters now..

Nice round! What track? I missed a putt on 18,for 79 Friday and couldn’t sleep that night

Let it go, Brooks. It was Phil's day. You'll have another.

Watson was on a whole other level of unexpected and more sensational in that regard. It would have arguably been the greatest upset win in the history of sports even with his past Open Success. He had not been in the top 10 in any tour event in over 7 years -- was around 1400th in the world, had missed 10 cuts in his 15 events played in the previous 6 years.

Phil is certainly fading and a 50 year old winning would be historic in itself and a great story and legacy setting. That being said even at 116th in the world, he was 2nd at a strong field WGC event last August, and had other top 3 finishes in 2020. He has good finishes in the past 18 months. So its a bit out of the blue, but its nothing like Watson.

Nothing like Watson but 200:1. That’s POINT 5%. It’s still a remarkable all time moment. Phil shouldn’t be penalized for being in better shape at 50 than 40, FIFTY!!!!

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Someone in the crowd probably stole Phil's wallet.

It was disappointedly light on big bills.
