- 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.

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! 🇸🇪
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.
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.
Years later and I can still watch this once a month! It's one of the best Sundays in golf history!
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
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
I’ve never seen Phil play any better and somehow he came in 2nd.... What a tournament!
Best round of golf, possible ever? Could not take my eyes of it for one second.
only 88k views? Tremendous editing, brilliant storytelling.
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.
The stuff of legends. Might be Henriks only major but one nobody will ever forget
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 .
when I saw this on TV, it made me want to try golf, and now I love it
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
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?
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!
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.
the amount of clutch putts, and pure iron shots hit from them? absolute class performance. never stop watching this replay of it all
Maybe the best golf tournament I have ever watched. Love Henrik too.
That final round is up there with the greatest moment/matches in sporting history! The intensity mustve been unreal!
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👌👌
I love Stenson's action. His swing is a thing of beauty.
Had this been a Hollywood production, H. Stenson would have awakened from the greatest golf dream ever---and as reality it has an even greater surrealism. The World watched the greatest golf story ever told !
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?
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
Often in sports people forget who came second, but I don't think anyone will forget this.
Phil what a great competitor and humble player. Henrik became the Iceman that day.
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
Best round of golf I've ever watched. Absolutely superb from both
... 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.
@@jesperasenfors2209 ... MERCI !!!
I can't hold the tears back. This is too beautiful for me.
2 great gentlemen, It was just Henriks time. Best final round I ever saw, glad I was able to watch this epic battle
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.
One of the best displays of pure ball striking from Stenson
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
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.
Watching in 2024. flashbacks watching this tournament. Beef was awesome
This might be my favorite golf video now. Thank you to all involved
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.
Amazing round by Stenson and Mickelson.
What a class act phil is and also so happy stenson got a major in the end
My best televised open match so far that made Stenson my best player in real time well done Henrick x
Thanks, Covid!
A delightfully displayed production of spectacular golf.
The best golf video of all time, cheers!
Incredible golf. What a tremendous battle.Congrats to Henrik ! and very well played Mr Mickelson..Thanks for sharing this wonderful vid..
This is epic storytelling.....beautiful!
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.
Best Open I’ve ever watched without doubt
This major is sooo underrated! We should speak more about how incredibly good these guys played when they had to
Greatest Sunday battle of all time.
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!
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.
Enjoyed this. Now to go watch the duel in the sun.
Watched every shot of that final round. Best ever and I am happy that Herrick prevailed.
3 Words "Brilliance Magic Sportmanship" !!
Fabulous film. Spent a little bit of time with Stenson in 2009. Cool guy.
The best Open yet!!!😍😍
9:19 "The next day a Swede made his presence felt". Here comes the Iceman
If golf was a painting this sure was a masterpiece. Stenson and Mickelson were the painters of this iconic duel.
The best Open yet!!🔥🔥
This was one of the best duels ever in golf. Period. LOL
Brilliant vid with player commentry on top of magnificence. Phil the thrill and Beef in the Ryder cup would be fun to watch...
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
Phenomenal
y'all did a great job with this doc
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
one of the best rounds Ive seen
I came here for henrik but i gained a whole new respect for beef
That Swedish flag beside the leaderboard on day one..... 🇸🇪
best golf round i ever seen. nuf said
Goosebumps 9:15
I was sick for Phil to go 18 under and not win and have that 63 in the 1st round in not win. I found some happiness for Henrik but Phil coming in 2nd again was torture when he played so great.
Definitely the highest quality of greatness from any final 2 song go in for a major championship. That was epic and this video was magnificent.
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
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.
I just remember the broadcast only showed these two. Maybe a shot here and there from the field but not much.
This was simply epic
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.
Above brilliant.
Stenson is an amazing guy! Wow!
Phil and Beef also of course.
Brilliant film, enjoyed that a lot! Phil deserves a lot of credit, not just for his play but for his class in coming 2nd. Be good to see them going head to head again at the Ryder cup!
This makes me, a non crying swede... cry
Both are historical both truly memorable. Fantastic all. Thank you.
The best final round I ever watched
Great history lesson
up there with Duel in the Sun. Unreal golf in intense pressure. Phil didn't deserve to leave empty handed.
id hope henrick has that hand written note from jack framed and on his wall in his house. what a momento
Greatest duel of all time
Don't particularly think one has to be better than the other (Troon vs Turnberry). But, blimey... they make for great CZcams vids!
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.
JB Holmes still playing his final round now, mind. MIND
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
Best final round in my lifetime.
Shout out to Phil Kenyon. Great putting coach.
Beef with that LRG vintage -- hustle trees my dude
MAGICAL 🏌♂️
wow!
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.
@The Open you need to post the official 2015 Open Championship film
God I love the accents
