KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (Reuters) - Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods offered their congratulations to Phil Mickelson on Sunday after the 50-year-old became the sport's oldest major champion by winning the PGA Championship. "Fantastic golf this week at Kiawah," Nicklaus, who won the last of his majors at the 1986 Masters aged 46, said in a video posted on Twitter. "You played great, you didn't make any dumb mistakes, which is the whole key to winning major championships. In collecting his first major since the 2013 British Open, Mickelson, who turns 51 next month, surpassed Julius Boros as the oldest major winner. Woods is recovering from serious leg injuries suffered in a February car crash and was unable to compete in the PGA Championship.
