After Stensons tee shot on 17 I've just developed a man crush on him. What a shot under pressure.

The ice man cometh. Stunning tee shot on 17.

Surely that's over for Phil... And a horrible bounce with a nasty putt left.

Great par!!! Surely Henriks but it can be a funny old game.....

Let's hope that one day The UK can produce another Open winner in the years to come.

I mean if a European can do it then why can't we?

Welcome to Brexit

Blimey, I nearly choked on my tea watching that ball head towards that bunker then.

 

[Pin-seeker]

And that's why Stenson doesn't use driver 💪

 

[Junior]

His trusty 3 wood almost hit it too far.....he's pumped!!!!

What a phenomenal 2 rounds of golf we've seen today. Great final round from both players.

Me too I gasped and shouted for it to stop :rofl:

Oi ! so of us are watching online and are a few minutes behind

I bet Phil can't believe he's played the round he has and is going to come 2nd....

Fantastic watch, great final pairing and either player would've been a worthy winner.

 

[MegaSteve]

As good a final day I can recollect watching....

Some fantastic golf on view...

 

[Imurg]

And he joins the 63 club

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Brilliant from Stenson - stunning golf from the pair of them

 

[Hosel Fade]

The really scary thing is he's just gone round Troon in 63 while 3 stabbing twice

 

[Green Bay Hacker]

Absolutely brilliant from Henrik and Phil. 63 and 65 in the final group and to think that Henrik started with a bogey.

 

[chrisd]

Absolutely wonderful to watch and I'm so pleased for Stenson
