When is the last time 2nd place finished 11 clear of third place?

It's a record for a major

I've been watching golf for a very long time. This weekends duel between Henrik & Phil may have been the greatest display of one-on-one golf that I've seen. Particularly on a demanding course like Royal Troon.
Congrats to Henrik on his first major win.

one thing i didn't like hearing from mickelson all week was how there was "no pressure" on him because he's already won a claret jug.
that's pretty bullshite. not that he feels that way, but that he openly says it. it kind of comes across as if it won't be that big of a deal if he doesn't win it. he's never had that killer instinct.
that's just how i feel about that.

Just because he said it doesn't mean it's true. It's mind games.
He hasn't won in a very long time and he's getting up there in age, the pressure was there and he didn't fold, Stenson was just a little better this week.

PGA Championship at Baltusrol in two weeks ...

Watching Phil's presser just shows how much he wanted to win. He felt pressure, he just handled it like a champ, but still came up short.

I kept saying the same thing all through the round. The Duel in the Sun was pretty amazing but I think this was better.

Sucks for Lefty, but he and the Stenson crushed everyone else.

lower course has changed since the last time the pga was there in 2005. it's a par-72 now, and holes 17 and 18 are both par 5s. interesting.

It was a 72 then just converted like it will be this time too.
17 and 18 have always been 5s

I don't get changing holes from par 5 to par 4. The hole is still the same so what difference does par make?

you don't gain as much when you beat the field ... long hitters who make 3 gain 1 stroke instead of 2 ...

If the average score on a hole is 4.5, you gain a half stroke for a 4 and lose a half stroke for a 5. And that's the same for everybody regardless of what's printed on the score card.

These guys made a very difficult course look easy. Unreal display of golf. Stenson just took this motherfricker.
My wife looks at me and says “Is this like a really easy course or something?” after about the 5th consecutive time they both hit it close to the pin
