Yes, Mickelson really won the PGA Championship at the age of 50 when nobody thought he would. He sank the putt on the 18th green and sent the crowd into a frenzy, and his remarkable feat is one that everybody should appreciate. Plus, the fact that Mickelson did all of this at the half-century mark is insane.
