Phil Mickelson is one of the greatest golfers of all time. Fact, not opinion. His win this past Sunday at the PGA Championship was full of great sports moments. Thousands of fans flooded the fairway behind Mickelson and marched lock step with him to the 18th green to witness golf history. Mickelson’s win at The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island, South Carolina makes him, at 50, to be the oldest golfer to win a major on the PGA Tour. There was some drama however. On live TV, second place finisher Brooks Koepka made excuses for his failure to win. Take a listen for our takes on this and much more in episode 71 of Golf Balls Podcast.
