A history-making moment at the pga championship. legendary golfer phil mickelson claimed the trophy and also claimed the title of the oldest winner of a major. >> mickelson is 50 years old. how can he even still be walking? he beat the record previously held by julius barros, who won the pga championship in 1968 at age 48. mickelson now has won six major titles. he last won the pga 16 years ago in 2005. that is a very good news story on so many levels. >> yes, it is. >> but prepare yourself, bec...
