Today's subject is golf. Phil Mickelson won the PGA championship Sunday afternoon. At nearly 51, Mickelson becomes the oldest man to ever win a major tournament.
First, it's sad that golf considers you considered washed up before you hit fifty.
Second, you wonder how many tournaments Mickelson would have won if he wasn't competing against Tiger Woods every Sunday.
Third, it's simply a good story.
With minor exceptions, Mickelson has behaved himself over the years, a good role model. People at the club where Mickelson won Sunday went nuts when he locked up the victory. People like this guy.
The big trophy and the fat paycheck are nice. So is the adoration. It's a "feel good" story when we can really use one.
