Mickelson legacy could be shaped by PGA Championship

Benign conditions greeted the early starters at the PGA Championship, but a stiffening breeze forecast for the afternoon should set the stage for a compelling final round on Sunday as Phil Mickelson attempts to become golf's oldest major champion.

Mickelson, 50, tees off at 2.30 p.m. local time (1830) accompanied by fellow American Brooks Koepka in the final heavyweight pairing at Kiawah Island.

Mickelson, at seven-under-par 209, leads Koepka by one shot, with South African Louis Oosthuizen two back.

The outcome on Sunday will help determine each player's legacy.
