Phil Mickelson began the final round with a one-shot lead and a chance to make history as the oldest major-winner in golf history. All eyes were on him. (Scott Halleran/Scott Halleran)
Mickelson got off to a rocky start in his final round. He made three bogeys, three birdies and three pars on his opening nine holes. The thrill ride was underway. (Eoin Clarke/Eoin Clarke)
Mickelson briefly lost the lead to playing partner Brooks Koepka during the opening nine. But at the turn he was back in front. Mickelson birdied 10 as Koepka made bogey, and Mickelson took a lead he would never relinquish. (Eoin Clarke/Eoin Clarke)
On the par-5 16th, Mickelson unleashed a 366-yard drive, which was the longest tee shot from anyone in the field on that hole all week. Mickelson made birdie to take a three-shot lead into the final two holes. (Scott Halleran/Scott Halleran)
