Phil Mickelson, trying at 50 to become golf's oldest major winner, continues his chase for a victory for the ages in Saturday's third round of the PGA Championship at blustery Kiawah Island.
Five-time major champion Mickelson and South Africa's Louis Oosthuizen were set for an afternoon start in the final group over the punishing Ocean Course, the longest layout in major golf history at 7,876 yards.
Mickelson and Oosthuizen, the 2010 British Open champion, shared the lead on five-under par 139 after 36 holes of battling the wind-swept coastal course.
With a victory, Mickelson would break the major tournament age mark set by American Julius Boros when he won the 1968 PGA Championship at age 48.

I always “felt bad” for this guy. I know he is one of the all time greats—but he played in the shadow of Woods for many of those years.
Go get them, Phil. Win one for us old guys.

Phil is looking fit. Wonder how much weight he has lost.

Interesting observation of golfers; their strong arm, (bicep/forearm) is larger than the other arm, makes sense.
Go lefty!

I’m watching. Mickelson is terrific and may win. I have other faves, of course: Koepka, Spieth, and the youngest guys, Morikawa, and Zalatoris. The future of golf is in good hands.

Phil is playing better than he has in last 2 years. 3 birdies in first 6 holes today. Now leads by 4 and 8 under for the tournament.

The crowd following Phil is growing with each hole. Reminds me of Arnie’s Army.

CHEDDAH.
There's a better pic than this showing how Phil turned his mantle into a 8-screen sportbook. I saw this pic in 2019 and immediately got a Samsung 82", hung it over my fireplace, and use AppleTV with a proprietary app (beta tester, baybeee) to split it into stacked wide 2s or square 4s, plus rewind/delay. You can set the live audio to bounce between prioritized feed on keywords. I have not bought the unipajamas LOL not my thing...

Did you see the insurrection by the mostly white spectator crowd? When will congress appoint a commission to investigate?
