"It's a fantastic success, I don't think I've ever experienced anything like it. I believed and hoped that anything could be possible.

I hope to be a source of inspiration for many, I have made many sacrifices but it was really worth it. I love this sport and I love to compete with such strong players "Mickelson said at the end of the tournament. To celebrate his masterpiece over 10,000 spectators, crowded at the 18th hole of the Ocean Course (par 72), a course that left no way out even to Dustin Johnson and Justin Thomas - respectively number 1 and two in the world, both out at the cut - and who celebrated the exploit of "Lefty".

From Tiger Woods to Jack Nicklaus, from Gary Player to John Daly, from Thomas to Koepka, the world of golf has celebrated Mickelson's victory. "Seeing you win at 50 is really inspiring. Congratulations "the compliments on Twitter of Tiger Woods, the great absentee of the tournament." You are a formidable ambassador of this sport, a timeless champion "the praise of Player.
