<Anchor> At the
PGA Championship, 51-year-old Phil Miculson climbed to the top and became the oldest champion of all major competitions. The enthusiasm of the cloud gallery was spectacular.
This is Ha Seong-ryong reporter.
<Reporter> With the
largest number of galleries of 10,000 since the spread of Corona 19, Miculson wrote a new history of world golf.
Miculson, who started as the first hitter in the lead, kept the lead without shaking even in the strong sea breeze.
This scene that enthralled the gallery by catching birdies with picturesque bunker shots was the best part.
Even in the cluttered atmosphere of players and the gallery, Mickulson finished the second shot and raised his arms together with the gallery and turned Green into the stage of the festival.
He won the championship at age 50 and 11 months old, and set the record for the oldest major championship in 53 years.
[Phil Mickulson/PGA career 45 wins: I believed it was possible, but everyone thought it was impossible, so it's even more amazing. I hope this win will inspire others.]
"Lifetime rival," Tiger Woods, delivered a congratulatory message to Miculson, who achieved a career of 45 wins and 6 majors after the first win on the 1991 PGA Tour.
[Phil Michalson/PGA career 45 wins: I trained a little more than others, and I worked a little harder to maintain stamina and skill. And I did it in the end.]
Miculson will compete in the US Open next month to challenge the'Career Grand Slam'.
