Sweden’s Henrik Stenson became his country’s first major champion in record-setting fashion as he won the 145th British Open at Royal Troon. His 20-under 264 winning total was the lowest aggregate total in major-championship history as he defeated Phil Mickelson by three shots to become the Champion Golfer of the Year. His closing 63 tied the major-championship record held by 28 others but is only the second one to come in the final round.
Wow. What a week.
The Open Championship gave gamers a headache across multiple formats as the draw again played a huge part in the week’s proceedings.
