Phil Mickelson became oldest major winner EVER to clinch PGA Championship

The 50-year-old held off Brooks Koepka to steal stunning win at Kiawah Island

It was Mickelson's sixth major triumph eight years after his last one in 2013

The golfing legend secured a two-shot win over Koepka and Louis Oosthuizen

In the end, he did it the Phil Mickelson way. He did it with birdies and bogeys and by holing a bunker shot. Amidst a cacophonous scene of joyous, unconfined emotion at the 103rd USPGA Championship, he took his brilliant career to another level, tearing up the record books and making us rethink convention.

This was the 456th major championship stretching all the way back to 1860, and now we have the first winner over the age of 50. It was his sixth major triumph, eight years after his last one at the 2013 Open, and it takes him alongside Sir Nick Faldo on the all-time list of legends.

He did it by destroying Brooks Koepka, the best major golfer of the last decade. He did it with meditation and chewing gun and a pair of aviator shades that couldn't hide the steel.
