2016 Open Championship (The Duel at Troon)

[@GolfDay]

The best thing about this video is the unbelievable quality.

[@Wowreally42]

GolfDay hahaha you beat everybody to it! Thanks for uploading regardless. This was an incredible battle by these two.

[@jcampbell8988]

no the best thing about this video is how it cuts off the beginning of stenson's 51 footer on 15

[@GolfDay]

@@jcampbell8988 I actually had to do that. I had originally uploaded this video back in August of 16 and it got taken down for copyright. It was the particular footage of Stenson's 51 foot putt that had gotten my video flagged so I had to cut most of the putt out.

[@all-timealien4483]

I was about to comment that this happened in 2016 how the fuck is the quality only 460p? Lol

[@SirFluffyFluffton]

Who won I've got no idea? Send your answers on a postcard

[@glenngastonjonsson7954]

That is simply Ali vs Foreman, Federer vs Nadal or Borg vs McEnroe. The quality that Sunday was out of this world. Thank you!

[@craigratio]

The Greatest two horse race in sporting history. Both of them played the most unbelievably good golf i’ve ever seen. May not have been the hardest Open layout but to shoot 63 on sunday pins at a major is incredible.

[@bobbykevil214]

One of the greatest matches of all time.

[@VtRD]

It's the best Sunday I've ever witnessed--and now we're in 2020. Troon is incredibly difficult. I have been there.

[@camelcase9225]

It's the duels like this that happen so infrequently that really make golf the best sport on the planet. Two guys so far ahead of everyone else in the field because they're feeding off each other, and coming to just a single mistake that decides the winner. Just an amazing 4 days of golf.

[@kevincampbell1086]

I watched this live on tv

[@viken5909]

This was some of the best golf I’ve ever seen. Stenson’s putting was absolutely insane

[@aeromedical6750]

You have to feel for Phil. He shoots the second low round of the day by three shots. If you do this starting the final round at one shot off the lead, it’s almost a given you are the winner by several strokes. The only problem - Stenson was the low round by 2 strokes. Henrick played out of his mind this day. What a final round battle this was. I felt privileged to watch it on TV during the live broadcast.

[@DanielSong39]

Phil played out of his mind. Henrick was at another level.

[@aeromedical6750]

DanielSong39 - yup. Pretty Much. Who makes 10 birdies in the final round of a Major? Unreal stuff from Stenson.

[@gezzarandom]

One of those times in sport when you play better than you ever have but you still don't win, all you can do is tip your hat and say well done to the winner. Also Henrick and Phil have had two epic battles for this trophy, and it stands at one a piece, could this be a new rivalry?

[@brucewayne3602]

... add 2013 @ Muirfield and this golf defies description ... 2 incredible chmpions !!!

[@jamesroboyle]

Henrik was sinking everything he looked at .

[@MrAndemob]

The putt @48:20 sealed it - huge congratulations to Henrik Stenson; well earned winning this "duel of the sons"!

[@DGolfer60]

That was the best Open championship battle I've seen since Nicklaus-Watson in 1977 - thanks so much for putting this together - great job!

[@kennyletchworth7200]

Thanks for putting that together. I wanted to see that unbelievable performance again.

[@fredericbosmans162]

Kenny Letchwor

[@TheSteve1126]

By both men, absolute joy to watch, well done Henrik, two fun men to watch

[@SirFluffyFluffton]

Then Phil wins USPGA 5 years later.. Dedicated Man.

[@Libbyyyyyyyyyy]

I decided to sit down and watch this with my dad when this was live, and was so shocked that someone could control a ball with a golf club, I have never stopped trying to learn this game since.

[@TheSteve1126]

Phil was great, Henrik was greater, as a huge Phil fan, he couldn’t have lost to a better guy, the smart ass attitude speaks to me, love ya Henrik, well done

[@stephenmacdonald76]

I have walked my dog round this course that's what I love about the UK you can just go for a walk across these major championship golf courses

[@williammoss3510]

I was the scoreboard carrier on this day never seen anything like it

[@think4yourself1]

True?

[@SirFluffyFluffton]

I hope you haven't got a bad back from carrying the scoreboard

[@atiboyful]

I have NEVER seen a dual like this one in Golf! Both of them were seven strokes ahead of the nearest competitor's!

[@gavinknoesen]

How is this the best quality video in today's world. Well least its up.

[@user-xq5rp9fm1p]

Been waiting for someone to put this together. Thanks!!!

[@stillsearchingforsanity4332]

Well done video. I was unable to watch this live and had to follow progress on my phone. Could not believe what I was seeing. STENSON*DID*NOT*BLINK.

[@prestonfights4534]

One of the greatest rounds ever played by stenson

[@mpreiss7780]

one of the great duels

[@azapro911]

Best major championship golf Mickelson has ever played, despite winning five of them previously.

[@mikeorndog3896]

azapro911 He played better at 01 pga, 14 pga, 15 masters and this better than most or all of his major wins. Has ran into some crazy opponents

[@TheLocalLt]

80s And Stuff 2012 Masters as well

[@kevincampbell1086]

And now 6

[@budthebud9108]

Stenson needed the round of his life and he did it. Some major winners get to "par" in.

[@pederlettstroem980]

Wow! Was that a thrill? Master golf of both. Congrat Henrik!

[@golfinguru11]

some of the best ball striking i have ever seen, on a sunday at the british no less. incredible

[@markjeffers4663]

Some of the best golf I've ever witnessed unbelievable from both henrik and Phil

[@SN2903]

Great sportsmanship by Phil.

[@MikeDoba]

2016 and not HD? come on!! .. One of the best Duels I can remember watching

[@ljungan93]

Then be happy you can watch it, quality's good enough.

[@shayneg2901]

10:40 what a shot from lefty

[@brucewayne3602]

... add 2013 Muirfield & this golf is brilliant & incomparable ... real rough, real hazards, real weather & of-course Phil & Henrik ... no Mickey Mouse courses in The Open ........................

[@abt19008]

I shed a few tears after Phil lost the US open for 6th time getting 2nd place. This one was even more difficult. One of the last chances. But hopefully not the last major

[@mikeorndog3896]

Adam Me too, this one was hard cause of how well he played, well enough to blow apart the field in almost every other Open

[@SN2903]

I think he will win 1 more major. Gut feeling he will get a 4th green jacket.

[@kevincampbell1086]

Pga champ 2021

[@jorgen_persson]

+1 for the compilation -1 for the video quality

[@jakemartinez1354]

Jörgen Persson more like -1 for the compilation +1 for quality. If ya get me ;)

[@Mitjitsu]

Brought to you in glorious 4:3

[@kimcrestra7431]

would be better if this is HDbut, big thanks!

[@BaderAaron]

Could you imagine shooting 17 under at a major AND LOSING! Dear lord these 2 were practically playing alone the entire week.

[@willycooper8508]

Who's here after Phil won the 2021 PGA... legend

[@tylermorro1747]

Open is returning to Troon in 2023!

[@kevincampbell1086]

The guy who's right handed playing left handed vs the guy who's left handed playing right handed

[@FatherJoel]

That was great. Thanks bud

[@radar0412]

I think Phil could've won if he goes conventional putting grip. Phil never won a Major using the Claw grip.

[@Glidinatt]

What is harder - to tame a lion or a tiger? This sunday he tamed the lion.

[@jakemartinez1354]

Phil is the “greatest golfer” that never was. Man 6 2nd place finishes here. Playing one of the best tournaments of his life and still loosing here. Man so rough. Can you imagine if Phil had 6 more major titles. He would be in a different class up near Tiger.

[@kacywhite7249]

magnifico

[@benzielke4443]

Great Stuff !

[@bigjj8441]

After this there is no need to watch golf any more. What could match?

[@petergoddard262]

Two great players. No losers here.

[@kevincampbell1395]

33:36. Did Jonny say "that's a fuckin great shot right there "?

[@dantorre1683]

For those of you who want better quality video its here kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYCZp51jh7togq8 But its swedish commentary so I guess it sounds like smurfs or something. Still, it has better quality and I will never forget this (the final) round, it was a privilegie to watch it live on TV.

[@satesy]

Right on Stenson lad!

[@guillermojacques6671]

Less Peter Jacobson sound would have been better

[@markusluoma3461]

"Thats so shitty for it to do that"

[@actual90]

he said that to the photographers that clicked of in his backwswing there on 18. he though it was shitty behavior, and he is right.

[@TrueRahf]

Do I sense a *slight* hint of bias against Stenson and for Mickelson in the commentary? :P

[@hoatattis7283]

The thing is Phil had won 5 by here Stenson has not won anything since here

[@mikes7639]

Like the quality sarcasm you bring, go back to cartoons

[@ryankissee4333]

Unreal golf by two incredibly hot players. So happy that Johnny Miller and his negative energy are no longer put in front of a microphone.

[@themanimal5295]

I feel sorry for the poor cows who had to remain in the barn for the whole four days.

[@mikeorndog3896]

27:16 amazing strike by Lefty!

[@think4yourself1]

Wow!

[@danielsvensson3611]

The thing is that all their balls will be found and even hit someone....so 3-4 strokes for free? So take away those strokes when you play 4-some(not 4000 or 40 000 looking for the ball...)....! Drop it just for fun in the high grass and hit away! ;) The best way is that they should look for the ball themselves....

[@АэлитаАрт]

love the look of These interesting videos Like # 251

[@potatochipz511]

Phil 😢

[@aRagingFrog]

19:40 listen to phil talk to fan lmao “that is so shitty to do that”

[@maxderbomber]

👍👍👍

[@MegaYobananaboy]

At 16:00 just before Stenson's bunker shot it looks like he grounded the club in the bunker for a split second.

[@KaranKaran-tx5ug]

Ok

[@user-tt3vp1uw6o]

Poor quality

[@fload46d]

Stenson is very good but Phil is still the best.

[@andrepasuram3529]

Joseph Kretschmer nah i would say Phil is good but Stenson is the best

[@danielsvensson3611]

If theese guys are the best in the world I will persue golf. Started with golf last summer of 2016 and have hcp 18 now...

[@daybyday6774]

They are not the best in the world...but pretty close. Phil Mickelson isn't at the top of the PGA anymore but these types of rounds were the norm for him for many years. Phil is still a playing legend. Stenson is playing his best golf of his life right now. What these guys are able to do under the most difficult conditions with all of those people watching is truly impressive.

[@christianserage8299]

Good Luck LMAO

[@mpreiss7780]

they are not the best in the world?? they are both top 8-20 in the world so

[@goldkillah1576]

Patrick c they aren't ranked #1 and #2 in the world, but they both scored way lower than the field that week.

[@serendipityuk]

Can’t stand these American commentators

[@romanwojciechowski804]

Johnny Miller loves bashing Phil even in a battle like this. Cuz Phil is a better golfer and people love Phil like no other. Johnny Miller professional envy no doubt. Johnny sucks !!!
