Stenson was the first to finish 20-under at the Open Championship, beating Tiger Woods' record of 19-under in 2000. Stenson's 264 set a new major championship record, beating David Toms' 265 in the PGA Championship in 2001. Stenson broke the previous Open Championship record by three shots, formerly 267, set by Greg Norman in 1993. Stenson's 63 (in round 4) and Mickelson's (in round 1) tied the major record for a round. It was the 28th and 29th time this score had been achieved, and Stenson was the 27th different player to do so. Stenson and Johnny Miller are the only players to shoot 63 in the final round of a major and win.http://www.europeantour.com/europeantour/season=2016/tournamentid=2016054/news/newsid=302339.html With This Win – Henrik Stenson, Open Champion PGA European Tour 17 July 2016 Mickelson, age 46, became the oldest player to shoot a round of 63 in an Open Championship and also the second-oldest player to shoot 63 in any major championship; Gary Player shot 63 in the second round of the PGA Championship in 1984 at age 48.753705161479118849 ESPNStatsInfo Oldest Players to Shoot 63 in a Major... 14 July 2016 The 11-shot difference between 2nd and 3rd place was the largest in history.Henrik Stenson claims Open for first major title https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/17094320/henrik-stenson-wins-open-championship-final-round-showdown-phil-mickelson ESPN 17 July 2016 17 July 2016 Notes References External links Royal Troon 2016 (Official site) Coverage on the European Tour's official site Coverage on the PGA Tour's official site Coverage on the PGA of America's official site 2016 Category:The Open Championship Category:Golf tournaments in Scotland Open Championship Open Championship Open Championship Category:Troon Category:Sport in South Ayrshire Category:21st century in South Ayrshire
