Three decades later, Els and Mickelson join an elite club by competing in their 100th major championship. Ernie Els and Phil Mickelson are still going at it, rarely rivals, always friends. Els won his first one in 1994 at the U.S. Open at Oakmont. Mickelson didn’t win his first major until he was 34, at the Masters, and it came at the expense of Els. The PGA of America had photos from the first major they played (Els at the 1989 British Open, Mickelson at the 1990 U.S. Open); the victories in the majors (five for Mickelson, four for Els); and yes, that 1984 Junior World.
