Who dueled it better? 1977 Open vs. 2016 Open

There they were, fighting Mother Nature and Father Time, Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson putting on a show that had us stammering to name it before it was over.

Was it the Royal Boil? The Fray on the Firth? The Melee in the Mist? The Back and Firth? The Royal Row?

Oh, hell, whatever you want to call it, it was one helluva show.

Before Sir Henrik of Stenson hit that last putt I was flat out Swedish fishing to put it into perspective, too. Was this better than the Duel in Sun?
