Phil Mickelson became the oldest Major championship in history just shy of his 51st birthday. For sportsbooks, the payout was $22500 for anyone who got down on the veteran golfer early with a $100 futures bet.
Dave Mason of BetOnline confirmed Sunday evening that their biggest bet was $80 at 300-1 for a $24,000 profit.
Mickelson finished off his 73 with a simple par on the 72nd hole to the wild cheers of fans at the Ocean Course.
Mickelson raised his arms in triumph and hugged his caddie, his brother Tim, for his sixth career major and second PGA win joining his Wanamaker Trophy from Baltusrol in 2005.
