American professional golfer, Phil Mickelson, recently registered his name in the history books. At 50, he became the oldest player to win a major on the PGA Tour Championships. It is undoubtedly a great achievement and many tennis players including Caroline Wozniacki have extended their congratulations to him.

It is the sixth major for Phil Mickelson. The American broke the record of Julius Boros who earlier was the oldest to win a major at 48. It is because of this spectacular feat that the American is receiving appreciation from the entire sports fraternity.

Former World No.1 Caroline Wozniacki wrote a special message for Mickelson. In the tweet, she wrote that Mickelson’s victory will even inspire her husband to win a major in golf.

“Wow!! Congrats Phil Mickelson!! You have given my husband belief he can still make it on tour!” wrote Wozniacki on Twitter.

Wozniacki’s husband David Lee is a former American Basketball player. He was even a 2-time NBA All-Star player who has quite an interest in Golf as well. Thus, Wozniacki stated that Mickelson’s win will surely give motivation to his husband to try his luck at the sport.

Following Wozniacki, American tennis star Jessica Pegula also congratulated Mickelson for his astonishing accomplishment. She tweeted a beautiful note for the champion and exclaimed that how many thumbs did he give today.

“How many thumbs up did Phil give today,” wrote Pegula on Twitter.

She even used a hashtag- ‘The Limit Does Not Exist’- clearly indicating that there is no limit for any sportsman. She even wanted to convey that age is just a number and a player can play and win as long as he can stay strong.

Phil Mickelson’s triumph is a testimony that if one has got some strong will power, anything is possible at any age. He proved that a player can not only play at 50 but can even be victorious if he plays well. The same thing is even true for Roger Federer and Serena Williams in tennis who continue to give some tough competition to the youngsters. Will either of them be able to succeed at the French Open 2021?
