Phil Mickelson Headed To Top Of Golf List.

He last won a major championship in 2013, with his career-best run coming in the mid-aughts.

Yet on the longest course in major championship history under blistering heat and with winds swirling, he is within reach of claiming history after getting to 5 under on the week Friday to take the lead at the 2021 PGA Championship.

Of the five major champions in the history of the game over age 45, none were as seasoned as Mickelson is now.

A win on the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island would not only make him the oldest major winner if his lead holds another 36 holes — it’d make him the oldest by nearly two years.
