The scoreboard on the 18th hole shows the winner, Sweden's Henrik Stenson is the Champion golfer of the year, after winning the 2016 British Open Golf Championship at Royal Troon in Scotland on July 17, 2016. Henrik Stenson won the British Open at Royal Troon on Sunday, pipping Phil Mickelson by producing a major championship record-equalling round of 63 on the final day. The Swede -- who played superbly to finally win his first major at the age of 40 -- led by one overnight and kept his nerve, shooting an eight-under 63 to finish on 20 under par, three shots clear. / AFP / GLYN KIRK / RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE (Photo credit should read GLYN KIRK/AFP/Getty Images)
