The Open
Henrik Stenson produced one of the greatest final rounds in Major Championship history. He went head to head with Phil Mickleson, who shot a bogey free round of 65 on Sunday. However, Stenson closed with a Major record tying 63, and finished at 20-under-par.
It's difficult to put Stenson's accomplishments into perspective. Unless you like numbers. Then it's quite easy...
264 - Lowest 72 hole total score in Major Championship history.
20-under-par - Ties lowest score to par in Major Championship history (Day, 2015 PGA).
Second player to shoot 63 in the final round of a major and win (Johnny Miller, 1973 U.S. Open).
Second player since 2000 to get first Major victory after turning 40 (Darren Clarke, 2011 Open).
Mickelson's numbers weren't bad, either. They just weren't good enough...
17-under-par - Ties second lowest score to par in a Major by a non-winner (Bob May was 18-under-par in 2000 PGA).
17-under-par would have won or forced a play-off in 141 of 145 Opens.
65 - Lowest career final-round score in a Major.
11 - Second most career runner-up finishes in Majors (Jack Nicklaus, 19).
