2021 PGA Championship
A question - how does Mickelson's win compare to other unexpected late-career majors?
In my mind, it's not up there with Nicklaus in the 1986 Masters or Woods in the 2019 Masters, but it's not far behind, and probably ahead of others (Ernie Els - 2012 Open, Hale Irwin - 1990 US Open are a couple of examples that come to mind).
I thought he was "slow playing" Brooks a little....i.e. gamesmanship!
Par4QC If Phil can drive this well for 4 days, maybe we should all be getting the latest Callaway head. Gotta be the driver
Its funny how there does not seem to be much talk of Phil's 6 deg driver at 47.9". When Bryson was just talking about this setup, there seemed to be tons of talk about the "mad scientist"

Bryson could take a lesson from Phil about being less talkative and letting his results speak.
garyt1957 Especially since he struck a beautiful 7 iron on the 17th? hole that just rolled off, then nerves got him on the putt. That would've been the one to beat for sure.
So did Phil mention Watson in his post win interview. He said that Watson hit a perfect 8 iron and basically
just got unlucky it wasn't stone dead. Watson's loss was the most disappointing moment I can think of
in watching TV golf.
I thought the sea of people Phil and Brooks had to wade through was both ridiculous and fantastic! Great to see people on the course, but MAKE WAY for the players. Brooks took a while to get out of the seas of bodies.

The PGA is in my home state next year, so I registered to buy tickets. We should be out of school and I should be able to actually go. Question, what kind of price tag are you looking at for a ticket? Should I just get a Sunday ticket for all the excitement, or would I have more fun with less crowd on Thur/Fri?
BTW, I've never been to any PGA event.
Dufferman I went to the PGA in 2019 at Bethpage on a Friday and I want to say tickets were $150 for a day? I think Thurs and Friday are less than Sunday. Had a great time and finally saw Tiger live. It was pretty crowded for us but that was pre-Covid.
I'm more of a less crowded is good guy, but I could see Sunday being exciting obviously. It was easier to get in and out during the week although the PGA didn't do the best job shuttling people around (then again Long Island is not the easiest place) .
