Every Shot | Stenson vs Mickelson | The 145th Open Championship

Henrik Stenson finally broke his major duck at the 41st time of asking after winning The 145th Open at Royal Troon in record-breaking fashion to take his place among the all-time greats.

The 40-year-old, who also became the first Swede to lift the Claret Jug, started the final day one shot ahead of Phil Mickelson and carded an eight-under-par 63, featuring ten birdies, to claim a three-shot victory over the 2013 Champion Golfer of the Year on a 20-under-par 264.

One of the greatest head-to-heads in Open history is ready to be enjoyed again. Every single shot is here!

It was a sunny day in Berlin where I was living at the time in 2016 when I started watching it live. Thought to myself "I'll watch the first couple of holes and then meet with friends, enjoy some sun". I spent the entire afternoon watching these two legends have a go at it and I'm so glad I did. Best session of golf I have ever seen.

You'll never see a pair burn a course to the ground like this again in the final round of a major. Magnificent.

This was my favorite Sunday of any major in my life. So fun to watch these two go back and forth. They were both on fire.

[alanparker]

So glad they've put this up. A match for the ages. No loser here.

Tom Watson said this topped his and Nicklaus un 77. I’ve never seen a twosome play a better final in a major! Brilliant.

This is and was the best golf match in the history of golf ware - Two players went heads up, scoring so low, and a 2 shot swing on the first hole. Long putts win tournaments, and Henricks' career was established as a champion golfer even if he never won a golf event again. It took a life's of energy to win against the best putter and chipper in the world.
Amazing. Applauds.

Henrik is one of the coolest dudes on the course. Has an awesome sense of humor as well. Anyone from Norway/Sweden/Finland seem to be very easy going and tend to listen before speaking. Kimi and Henrik are two of my favorite sports personalities.

I was there that day and followed this group for the full round, best round of golf I have ever seen, televised included, was amazing!

[nickyd]

Legendary. A word often used but this most certainly was.

[lauriebarns]

Fantastic golf by two guys at the top of their game. Great to watch.

Love watching Phil. Helps with my left-handed troubleshooter.

What a beautiful experience and what a finish from Henrik 😄

[GusLascola]

Thank you for uploading this! Was so happy when I saw it in my feed

THIS is Greatness. 2 greats peaking on the same Sunday ... That 15th hole putt = Epic.

[nickpritchard]

A very entrertaining final round by two exceptional players, playing at their very best. Huge thanks for this one !!

I always think of Phil as having won 6 and a half majors. His play in this tournament was just exceptional. As for Henrik Stenson, not only did he win a major, the highlight of a golfer's career, he beat an All Time Great who was having a career week!

[troyyoung]

An absolutely outrageous round of golf from Stenson, -9 in the last 17 holes.

[bodacious]

Probably the 3rd best major anyone has ever played and he still lost by 3. Absolutely insane

[dougs]

I remember watching this the day of. One of the most dramatic rounds of golf I've ever seen on a course I had played a few times. Some of the holes were unrecognizable from the back tees, and there was no run in the fairways, but it's a tremendous test of golf. Looking forward to The Open returning to Royal Troon this week.

I remember being gripped to this all afternoon, such a shame sky took coverage of the open so purple not interested in golf won't be able to just stumble across a round like this in future
