Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson's stellar play Sunday at The Open drew immediate comparison's to 1977's famed Duel in the Sun between Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson at Royal Troon.
When asked about Nicklaus vs. Watson in the interview room after his round Sunday, Mickelson admitted that he had thought about the comparsion, although he would have preferred to have been the Tom (the winner), not the Jack (the runner-up).
After watching the final round and reflecting on it, Nicklaus himself weighed in on Twitter, calling the show Stenson and Mickelson put on "even better" than his own duel with Watson.
