PGA of America CEO Seth Waugh said Monday that he’d apologized to winner Phil Mickelson and Brooks Koepka, who tied for second, for fans rushing past the ropes, marshals and security to swarm around them at the 18th hole during the PGA Championship Sunday.

The fans were excited about Mickelson being on the brink of being the oldest to win a major at age 50. Mickelson had called the scene “a little bit unnerving, but . . . exceptionally awesome too,” while Koepka complained his injured knee got hit by people during the swarm.
