Phil Mickelson became the oldest major winner in golf history on Sunday, the 50-year-old left-hander capturing the PGA Championship by two strokes for his sixth major title. Mickelson erased the major age win mark set by American Julius Boros when he captured the 1968 PGA Championship at age 48. It was the first major victory for Mickelson since the 2013 British Open. With 16 years between PGA Championship triumphs, Mickelson owns the longest gap between wins at the same major. Four-time major winner Rory McIlroy, who won the 2012 PGA at Kiawah, grinded out a 72 to finish on 293.
