Phil Mickelson was spectacular at the British Open on Sunday, but somehow, Henrik Stenson was even better.

The 40-year-old Swede put together one of the most impressive performances at a major in golf history, shooting an eight-under 63 on the day to finish 20 under par overall and complete a three-stroke victory over Mickelson at Royal Troon in Ayrshire, Scotland.

His score made history, per BBC Sport:

Absolutely sensational!
