The Open Thread 2016

Brilliant final round to both men and fair play to Stenson who kept his nerve.

No more question mark over crossing the line for Stenson , he did that very well today and will probably now go on to win a couple more.

 

[Jimaroid]

Amazing. What a "match" that was.

 

[Beezerk]

Wow, the man has ice in his veins, get in there.

 

[FairwayDodger]

It's Saturday, the time to choke is back nine tomorrow when it's yours to lose.

I hope he doesn't but I just see Mickleson holding it together a bit more when the heat is really on.

Choke? Lol! F'in brilliant Henrik.

I didn't care who won but wanted it to be due to good golf rather than the other guy mucking up. Fantastic golf today from both guys. Just brilliant!!!!

 

[Jimaroid]

Might not see a finish to a major like that again in my life. Just can't believe how good that was.

 

[Doh]

Great, great final round from both players under pressure from each other.

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Wonderful stuff, golfing history made there.

Wonderful stuff, golfing history made there.

Hope you had a nice little punt on Henrik as you tipped him up.

 

[Imurg]

Just one word for today's play - Outrageous!

 

[sawtooth]

Great, great final round from both players under pressure from each other.

It probably helped both players that they were so far ahead of the field that it really just came down to match play between them. Matching blow for blow the whole way around.

 

[Imurg]

Phil's score would have won 140 of the previous Opens...

 

[Wilson]

2 x 3 stabs, plus the one that grazed the edge on 17 - and he still shot 63! Incredible golf from Stenson, and from Mickelson.

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Great advert for the game, what a tournament, Stenson & Phil essentially playing matchplay

Great to watch and a well deserved result

 

[Tongo]

Brilliant stuff from Stenson. I didnt think he had it in him but that was a class way to win your first major.

Gutted for Phil though.

 

[Region3]

2 of the best rounds under pressure I've ever had the pleasure to watch. Pure quality.

What a great final game on the final day.

Superb golf from Stenson and Mickelson not just today but over the 4days, the scores of 18&20 under reflects how well they've played. The conditions at times weren't the best neither.

 

[Rumpokid]

Great stuff from the 40's and over players..Great for the game....Think the slower greens did for leftie..,but he is a class act..Congrats To Mr Stenson....

 

[JohnnyDee]

Can I just say that I wish I had had the foresight to call myself The Rumpokid when joining the forum.

Every time you post it just cheers me up no matter how low I'm feeling.

Big up to Carry On and Sid James!

Amazing end to tourney... Big Phil would have but your hand off with final score he ended with.

Brilliant from stenson old adage a pity there could be only one winner!!!

 

[BrianM]

Tremendous from Stenson and Mickelson, great advert for the game.
