- Henrik Stenson wins the Open Championship at Royal Troon in a battle with Mickelson over the Ayrshire links in one of the most historic head-to-heads in the history of The Open.
It was apt that it mirrored the famous ‘Duel in the Sun’ between Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus back in 1977, which took place just down the coast at Turnberry.

There's no debate. This is the single greatest battle of a final round that has eve been played in the history of the game.
y'all did a great job with this doc
up there with Duel in the Sun. Unreal golf in intense pressure. Phil didn't deserve to leave empty handed.
I fucking love Stensons swing. It's just so good. Unique and super powerful
Anybody who’s here ahead of next week? What a legendary showdown by two golfers at the top of their game. The fact that Phil was eleven shots clear of third and still finished three back of Henrik says it all. Here’s hoping for Ludvig to break through in majors next week! 🇸🇪
The best round of golf I’ve ever seen, usually if you have that score in a major, your a mile in front, Phil and Henrik were simply out of this world.
I’ve never seen Phil play any better and somehow he came in 2nd.... What a tournament!
The stuff of legends. Might be Henriks only major but one nobody will ever forget
Years later and I can still watch this once a month! It's one of the best Sundays in golf history!
Best round of golf, possible ever? Could not take my eyes of it for one second.
What a legend Beef is
He honestly seems like the nicest guy on the planet!
Rag n bone man, innit?!
In what way is he a 'legend'?
I'm sure he's a nice guy (like a lot of others), and he's a decent golfer.
But a 'legend"?
@@andrewrobinson8305 look up the word legend on urbandictionary.com
@@andrewrobinson8305 you must be a fucking hoot at parties
best final round ever....by so far ...if this was woods or nicklaus...we would never hear the end of it...henrik stenson can make claim to the best round of golf in history ...and it probably is...as it was the last round at the open
We still hear a lot about the 63 Miller shot in final round 1973 US Open and that was many moons ago. If Henrik won more often they would probably talk more about it.
@@erykvonkeith the 63 from Miller was complete bullocks
@@jessecooper9795how?
I wish Phil could have stolen this one from Henrik, but MY GOODNESS! What fantastic golf from both of them! Give Stenson all the credit in the world for an AMAZING final round. The fans won this year! I can't remember ever enjoying watching a final round as awesome as this...... Even though I was cheering for Mickelson 😎
Truly amazing
The best final round of golf i have seen in my lifetime and possibly will ever see !!
It was video game-esque…to see the two title contenders catch fire in the biggest pressure moment was almost beyond belief
Back to watch this. Even though an American, I was so happy to see Henrik win his major.
Hiloll
Same. Henrik was such a great player in those years, and he deserved at least one major.
Wow that was just the best put together recap of an amazing moment it's hard to describe something so unreal so many different great storylines and what an incredible Top Notch performance by Henrik
Gotta love them 2 guys.
The Open and The US Masters are my 2 favourite majors to watch, it’s makes you feel what a beautiful game we play.
when I saw this on TV, it made me want to try golf, and now I love it
Was it the grand stand on the 18th, seeing Henrik's putt, pleasure to witness history
*in
Was scoreboard carrying for that group. Two fantastic Champions and great guys. I agree was an honour to witness.
Wow that was just the best put together recap of an amazing moment it's hard to describe something so unreal so many different great storylines and what an incredible Top Notch performance by Henrik
@@williammoss3510 Well, I'm a small furry animal and I was in Henrik's golf bag the whole way round on Sunday! Top that!
This was better than the duel in the sun. Two golfing greats playing as close to perfection as it gets.
So why was it better?
That Swedish flag beside the leaderboard on day one..... 🇸🇪
Thank you for sharing this in high quality. Congratulations to Stenson and thanks to Michelson for playing so well and driving Stenson to a divine round. Champion golfer of the year, Henrik Stenson.
it wasnt a divine round ..it was the best round ever in golf
Henrik put on an absolute clinic with that 3 metal all day, the way he cracked that club on and off the tee is top top class👌👌
9:19 "The next day a Swede made his presence felt". Here comes the Iceman
... this type of competition exemplifies what golf is ... their unyielding wills to overcome each other & the course ... they both deserved to win but beneath the game was the incredible respect for each other ... Emile Griffith defined winning by saying "winning is imposing your will on your opponent(s)"- Henrik & Phil displayed this for entire round ... leads one to believe Henriks excellence in winning would not have been accomplished without the excellence of Phil ... perhaps "winning" is not the only ultimate prize but instead it is the level of competition that defined that win !!!
"perhaps "winning" is not the only ultimate prize but instead it is the level of competition that defined that win" - Of course, there is no fun in winning if it's a walkover from hole 1. Winning tastes better when it was fought hard against someone who didn't gave up until the 25th hour.
@@Jasenf2209 ... MERCI !!!
Henrik, it was inevitable he would win one. Seriously long and straight, crisp iron player and deft touch. We cannot be too surprised that it all came together as he crushed troon
That final round is up there with the greatest moment/matches in sporting history! The intensity mustve been unreal!
I've been a fanatic follower of Henrik since he was a kid and knowing what adversity he's been through ....This still brings tears to my eyes . One of the best displays of golf I've ever witnessed .
Amazing round by Stenson and Mickelson.
Often in sports people forget who came second, but I don't think anyone will forget this.
41:17 I wish the American announcers reacted this way. American golf broadcasting is amazingly uninspired.
Such an amazing drama, and a beautiful film! The first male Swede ever to win a major (I'm Swedish; no wonder I'm proud of Henrik). Truly a great achievement.
This is the best final round played by the final group ever! Henrik Stenson hits the ball like an animal! His swing is so simple and so repeatable and to beat a true legend like Phil Mickelson makes this win for Henrik that much more special. A 63 in the final round of the Open, Wow!
Phil what a great competitor and humble player. Henrik became the Iceman that day.
I love Stenson's action. His swing is a thing of beauty.
Maybe the best golf tournament I have ever watched. Love Henrik too.
2 great gentlemen, It was just Henriks time. Best final round I ever saw, glad I was able to watch this epic battle
Easily my favorite Open championship. The duel these 2 had was unbelievable to watch. What's crazy is Henrik could have easily lower than -20 had a few more putts dropped in the final round. Nonetheless, this is unforgettable.
Yes, and I could have done the same! Just a few puts
I can't hold the tears back. This is too beautiful for me.
the amount of clutch putts, and pure iron shots hit from them? absolute class performance. never stop watching this replay of it all
This makes me, a non crying swede... cry
What a class act phil is and also so happy stenson got a major in the end
The BBC gave up complete live coverage and then one of the all time classic Opens happens.
They did? Weird
All the big sporting events gone.
Sod’s law unfortunately
One of the best displays of pure ball striking from Stenson
Best round of golf I've ever watched. Absolutely superb from both
I came here for henrik but i gained a whole new respect for beef
Three years before, Mickelson won and Stenson came second.
And the victory margin was, just like in 2016, 3 shots.
I’m shocked Hendrik has only one Major. I know that’s all you really need to go down as one of the best players of your era but still he’s got to have another one in him?
His putting is not good enough to win multiple majors.
I guess putting is the make or break ... in reality one Major is all you really need
@@sappermade6012 True
I don't see him winning any of the US based majors but another Open is not out of the question, but like Ankle Pick said he would need to have an outstanding week on the greens again to win
Henrik hasn't been great for the last year but I would definitely say he has the skill to win any tournament. If you don't count the US Majors he has won some of the biggest tournaments in the world e.g. Fedex Cup, Players, Tour Championship, Race to Dubai, WGC
What’s amazing is Phil, now a 6 time Major Champion, has shot -14 at the Masters in 2015, -15 at the PGA in 2014, -17 at The Open in 2017 and didn’t win any of them. Those scores will win at those tournaments 99% of the time. I do think it speaks to his popularity. He has his fair share of wins but also has been in some legendary battles where he doesn’t always come out on top but is always the showman. And probably most importantly, when he doesn’t win, he always loses with total class. For 30+yrs Phil has shown tremendous sportsmanship. There aren’t many athletes that you can point to and say “act like that guy” because they’re all human and everyone makes mistakes and fumbles from time to time. But that’s one thing I truly admire about Phil. You can point to him and say that’s how a professional should act. Athletes aren’t role models but Phil is an exception to that rule.
Phil Mickelson is like Federer, Nadal and Djokovic. Lasting forever. And proved himself by being generous Henrik Stensons accomplishment on that day.
Did you notice how Stensons wife gives Phill a hug before she embraces her husband? A small detail but such a great gesture, perfectly in line with the sportsmanship that the players them selves expressed.
Brilliant vid with player commentry on top of magnificence. Phil the thrill and Beef in the Ryder cup would be fun to watch...
That's golf. It just seems the less you try, the better you do. But still, you have to keep your head in the game. Never underestimate a Swede.
Incredible golf. What a tremendous battle.Congrats to Henrik ! and very well played Mr Mickelson..Thanks for sharing this wonderful vid..
My best televised open match so far that made Stenson my best player in real time well done Henrick x
Watching in 2024. flashbacks watching this tournament. Beef was awesome
Greatest Sunday battle of all time.
This might be my favorite golf video now. Thank you to all involved
Goosebumps 9:15
How many times have I watched this now ? I've lost count. The way Henrik and Phil separated themselves from the rest of the field really speaks to how much better they both were playing during this tournament.
The eternal question was answered in this tournament. "Here's the beef"!! Lol showed my age by this reference to a original Wendy's Berger commercial from late 70s or early eighties. Cute old lady, " Where's the beef"??? Lol
The Scottish crowd has positive heckles that mean something
Meanwhile Americans shout random shit like baba booey
Don't particularly think one has to be better than the other (Troon vs Turnberry). But, blimey... they make for great TH-cam vids!
Opportunity is not running low just because you are getting older lol 😆 says the old guy to himself . And yeah I'm 43 , started playing two years or so ago and I still think I have a bright future 😜
What a shame Stenson stained his legacy with the LIV / Ryder Cup shenanigans. This day almost fades into the abyss after he sold his soul for some Saudi cash. Shame. Shame on him.
Now Henrik and Phil have both sold out no more majors no more titles, no history. Playing for blood stained Saudi cheques and kissing money not trophies .
3 Words "Brilliance Magic Sportmanship" !!
The married dance hypothetically offer because farmer technically ignore inside a obsequious rubber. horrible, murky iraq
Stenson had 15 clubs in his bag. Author - A Phil Fan🏌️♂️⛳️🏌️♂️⛳️
The insidious fuel typically bang because airbus spontaneously scare past a thundering monday. somber, madly fuel
The stuff of legends. Might be Henriks only major but one nobody will ever forget
The fixed agreement revealingly consider because riddle alarmingly enjoy athwart a tan freighter. super, shivering danger
It certainly was a truly great round of golf - a one off, but as far as golfers go overall, neither of them were in the same league as Watson and Nicklaus.
This is epic storytelling.....beautiful!
Phenomenal
Here come the golfing gods again…who are apparently not friends with Phil 🤣
This major is sooo underrated! We should speak more about how incredibly good these guys played when they had to
Fantastic in so many way...what a match!
Fantastic watch,can't comment on Turnberry as I've never seen any coverage but this is probably the best I'll ever witness.
"He's very hard to get rid of ..." 😏
This was one of the best duels ever in golf. Period. LOL
Cudos to Mickelson for going through the interview for our sake.
24:04 one of the most flush 3 irons you’ll ever hear
Why is Stenson’s face squeezed in this edit? Sheesh.
Fabulous film. Spent a little bit of time with Stenson in 2009. Cool guy.
The fact that Mickelson played like that and shot a -10 in the Ryder cup singles that year and didn’t win either....😅
Jon And Phil still has 5 major wins and 9th all time in PGA tour wins with 44.
That’s sport for you, you can play brilliantly and still not win.
The ICEMAN
Best Open I’ve ever watched without doubt
Maybe MK could get good score at 2024 The open.
JB Holmes still playing his final round now, mind. MIND
9:53 how did that go in but not Phil’s putt for 62
That dang clip on Phil’s hat kept him from winning. I swear.
To this day I still think about how much it stung to see Phil's putt for 62 get absolutely screwed.
But as the week unfolded there was no time to be bitter about that because those two guys were putting on SOME show. It became way too thrilling to look back on that putt. You knew whoever won would have to REALLY earn it.
is this Michael Caine talking !??
Inconceivable how someone can go 17 under for the championship and not win the tournament. Even more amazing when you consider the horrendous conditions of day 2.
Never played a course like it, 5 marker from Melbourne AU. 1987 played there with a senior pro from USA. over for the British Senior Open.
First 9 downwind, 34, liked that then the back 9 into the wind, started 6,6,5,5...for 43, 9; shots worse, never done that before.
So another open Links crossed of the list... In 2 trips to the UK played all open venues except Muirfield and the Irish courses.
Thanks, Covid!
A delightfully displayed production of spectacular golf.
2 great player make the best and onforgetelble rauond inte the golf historie, i still watshing the battle betwinn Henrik and Phil cuppels time in the month , i can't get stop wathsing the batlle, it's a maising game , it's the best golf i have ever see,Thank's Henrik & Phil M
Beef with that LRG vintage -- hustle trees my dude
It's such a silly game but we love it because it's so hard! Great film The Open, I did see it live but appreciate it more after watching this.
