Man that was unbelievable.

That was fun to watch. I was rooting for Phil but happy for the swede to get his first major. I am afraid I would have skipped Church today if not for DVR.

I was rooting for Phil yesterday but for some reason today I started just going for birdies. I thought last year's PGA was the best non Tiger golf I had ever seen. This topped that, at least by the final two. Really exceptional.

Just got done watching. INCREDIBLE golf. How much do you think Mickelson would've bet that -6 today would've been good enough?

Stenson was SO clutch. Most fun I've had watching golf in a long time. Just incredible stuff from both of those guys.

You could tell after the front nine that Henrik wasn't going to lose. He wanted it more than Phil

In what other major is it allowed for still photographers to take photos at 12 frames /second in someone's backswing?

That's ****ing bull****, and I don't care who won, they did it to both players.

Great golf!
best two day battle in golf history !

Yeah, Stenson ran in a few putts on the back that Mickelson didn't. That was largely the difference. The scramble for birdie on 16 while Mickelson's eagle putt made a hard left to stay out was absolutely huge. That wasn't willpower. That was just golf. Same with the drive on 18 that was a foot from disaster.

I think I saw that the final group shot a best ball score of 59 today.

Absolutely crazy good golf

Pretty absurd way to word this. Phil wanted it just as badly. Phil wins that tournament 99 percent of the time. He ran into a player who was in that 1 percent zone.

I'm pretty sure 17 under wins about 99% of majors. Sometimes you fall on the wrong side of history.

Most of y'all are missing my point. My "wanted it more" comment was mainly me saying that it was becoming obvious (to me and the group of guys I was watching with, maybe not to some of you Phil lover boys) that Henrick was going to win. For as great as they were playing, it seemed like (to all of us) Henrick was going to find a way to win no matter how well Phil was playing.....it seemed like "he wanted it more" because he outplayed Phil and didn't back down all weekend, as evident by his scoring record. Me saying "wanted it more" was probably the wrong words. Simply making the point that to us he wasn't going to be beat after watching the front nine..... I apologize for all who's blood was pumping over my inappropriate language and offending comments

Not to mention both players were getting lucky breaks on the course so don't use that argument. That is part of golf.

I understood what you were saying. Not being critical but even when I hear announcers make that statement I find it silly. It just seems like a stretch to try to explain something which boils down to one guy is playing better than the other one.

Its almost like an attempt to fabricate drama or trying to explain something in an unnecessarily epic fashion.

it's golf too. Phil missed the cut @ Masters, US Open, Players, no wins this year...yet 3 2nd place finishes across 17 events (and 3 other top 10 finishes)...and went OFF at the Open....and the only reason he didn't win was because some other guy went crazy too.

It's tough to explain.

phil's last 2 runners up in majors have been to record performances. spieth tied tiger at -18 in the 2015 masters
