TROON (UNITED KINGDOM) - Henrik Stenson said he had a feeling he would finally win his first major this week after seeing off Phil Mickelson in a thrilling climax at the British Open on Sunday. Just like Watson then, Stenson came out on top this time on Scotland's west coast but both players produced world-class golf on Sunday. It seemed like it was going to be a two-horse race, and it was all the way to the end," said Stenson. Stenson had started the day on 12-under, a shot clear of Mickelson, but dropped a stroke at the first to lose his lead. "I knew he wasn't going to back down at any point, and in a way that makes it easier for myself."
