Henrik Stenson, after going toe-to-toe with Phil Mickelson for 18 holes Sunday at Royal Troon, pulled away to win the Open title for his first major championship.
Stenson shot an 8-under 63 to finish the tournament at 20-under. He won Sunday's matchup with Mickelson by 2 strokes and the Claret Jug by 3 over the American.
Both played stellar golf, combining for an eagle, 14 birdies and two bogeys in the final pairing.
Stenson delivered a crushing blow to Mickelson's chances of capturing a sixth major championship by making a 50-foot birdie putt from off the green at No.
