"Our final round was really good," Nicklaus said, "but theirs was even better." Turnberry entered the conversation Sunday at Royal Troon after four holes, when it was clear Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson had something special going. The greater the pressure, the better the golf until Stenson had broken one record, tied three others and won his first major. Stenson and Mickelson were never separated by more than two shots for 40 consecutive holes until Stenson's final birdie to win by three. Without Mickelson there to push him, there's no telling how this final round would be remembered.
