Phil Mickelson and Louis Oosthuizen lead after the second round of the 2021 PGA Championship

There is a two-way tie for the lead after the second round of the 2021 PGA Championship from the stunning Ocean Course at the Kiawah Island Golf Resort in South Carolina. The two players at the top are major champions from the past–South Africa’s Louis Oosthuizen and American Phil Mickelson.

Oosthuizen and Mickelson are both at -5. Oosthuizen previously won the British Open in 2010, while Mickelson has won a major five different times (the 2004, 2006, and 2010 Masters, the 2005 PGA Championship, and the 2013 British Open). However one must realize what Mickelson has been able to do over the last 48 hours is remarkable. That is because Mickelson is 50 years of age, and the oldest major champion ever was Julius Boros, who won the 1968 PGA Championship at 48 years, four months and 18 days. 

Meanwhile nine other golfers are in contention of the lead. Brooks Koepka of the United States is the only player one shot back at -4. He is followed by a trio of golfers two shots back at -3. There you will find Branden Grace and Christiaan Bezuidenhout of South Africa, and Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama. Then you will find five more golfers three strokes back at -2. This group contains Canada’s Corey Conners, Americans Gary Woodland and Kevin Streelman, South Korea’s  Sung-Jae Im, and England’s Paul Casey.

The day needs to belong to Mickelson. Not many excepted the ageless wonder to be leading at the midway point of men’s golf’s second major of 2021. In 2020, Mickelson was a two-time winner, however both wins were on the Champions Tour and not the PGA Tour.
