TROON, Scotland (AP) -- Henrik Stenson ended his winner's speech on the 18th green at Royal Troon by dedicating his first major title to a close friend who died of cancer the day before the British Open started.
''I feel like he has been with me all week - Mike, this one is for you,'' said an emotional Stenson as he raised the claret jug one more time and kissed it.
Beside the green, Stenson's wife Emma sobbed.
Mike Gerbich was a pal of the Stensons when they lived in Dubai. Gerbich and Henrik Stenson used to play golf together.
