TROON, Scotland – In one of the greatest displays of golf this championship has ever seen, Henrik Stenson, at age 40, became the first Swede to win a British Open, or claim any men's major title, on Sunday at the stern Royal Troon Golf Club. The finale was a stunning display of mano-a-mano golf, as Stenson and his playing partner, Phil Mickelson, 46, playing in the last twosome of the day, completely distanced themselves from the rest of the field and matched each other almost shot for shot in what amounted to golf theater as its most exhilirating.
