    FFS he’s hardly geriatric at 50.

    Barely any physical disadvantage and experience wise he wins.
    The only non injury reason other older guys stop winning is because they get comfortable, rich and lazy

      @kiwipie it did, the last one that people went off on, I wasnt bothered by it.

      And in other news (I suspect this is mostly American fans, there are some right nutters on the PGA pages hate for de Chambeau, hate for Koepka, for Reed, for the PGA after they pulled an event from Trumps course)

      Is he allowed to move dead foliage, or is courting trouble by fiddling so close to the ball?

        Yeah, it was telling when Phil had the longest drive of the day. Does age mean anything in golf?

        @barbarian said in Golf:

        It was an odd final round, neither Brooks nor Louis really fired a shot, and Mickelson could afford to play within himself down the stretch.

        As such there wasn't really a 'moment'. It was just solid play from Phil while his challengers kept making mistakes.

        Yeah, it was rather odd. Koepka made so many mistakes, it's amazing he ended up even close.

          @siam you can move dead foliage, but if the ball moves, you incur a penalty

            Not as much as other sports. Phil might be a little slimmer these days, but he hardly looks like he works out. He is fit and well, unlike Tiger with his bad back (pre-accident Tiger I mean). A lot of it is mental, he seems to really enjoy competing

                            @voodoo I did a google yesterday trying to find out what the comments might be. Couldn't find anything but there were plenty of links suggesting bad blood going back a few years.

                              @dogmeat I've seen a few places state it was similar to what was described above.

                                  Am wondering if this is all a bit scripted.

                                  They'd be a great pairing for the Ryder Cup though

                                        I may have missed it but I can't see any mention from you golf tragics of Mickelson becoming the oldest ever major winner - one months shy of his 51st birthday?

                                        I may have missed it but I can't see any mention from you golf tragics of Mickelson becoming the oldest ever major winner - one months shy of his 51st birthday?

                                        He's one of my hatiest players. Great win though!
