The final round was full of excitement when the lead of Phil Mickelson was cut down to 3 after his bogey. And later in the last hole he was only 2 shots ahead of Brooks Koepka and Louis Oosthuizen. But Mickelson proved his iron guts to hold on to his 2 shot lead to finish at -6 for the total. His 2 pursuers ended in a tie for second but it is worth the thrill and the effort. Mickelson is now the record holder of the oldest winner in a major at 50 years. It was a fitting climax for the old guy.
