adminTROON. — At the age of 40, Henrik Stenson is hoping his long-awaited first major golf victory at the British Open on Sunday proves to be just the beginning.
Stenson had long been considered one of the best players on tour never to have won a major but he put that right in the most spectacular fashion at Royal Troon on Scotland’s west coast.
His major championship record-equalling low round of 63, featuring 10 birdies, on Sunday saw him beat American Phil Mickelson by three strokes with an overall score of 20 under par, the lowest ever total at The Open.
“We’re only just getting started, aren’t we? You never know once you open the floodgates what might happen,” Stenson said later as he spoke to the media alongside the famous Claret Jug. — AFP.
