Been watching every major for about 20 years now, and I'm certain I've never seen two men play at that sustained level in a final round duel. Woods-May in 2000 comes to mind, but all I can say is wow. Shot after shot of greatness.

Stenson had to have made at least 150 feet worth of putts today, which is probably more than a lot of the field made this week. He also had two three putts on his 63 as well so it could have been even more special, but still the greatest round ever I think. Not easy conditions out there, but he finally had the putting to go with his usual ball striking clinic.

So glad I watched that. Shades of Watson/Nicklaus.

Mickelson was superb, shoots 65 and doesn't win. Stenson was amazing, especially after a shaky first hole.

Ya, thanks to all the apps that stream now and a very quiet office at work this week, I watched more of this Open than ever before. Thought it was fantastic this year.

Really glad for Stenson, seems like a great guy. Entertaining tournament this year.

I love pulling for Lefty, but was not upset in the least to see Stenson finally win a major. Well deserved, and what a round. Incredible. That 51 foot putt for birdie was unbelievable.

I like cheering against Phil. Amazing round of golf. Glad Stenson won.

I wish Shaughnessy in Vancouver would get more Canadian Opens where the winning score is typically only a few strokes under par. I dunno- maybe the longer flight would deter even more players from coming over straight after the Open. One of the worst spots on the calendar. Thank goodness for RBC sponsorships though, which give it a fairly decent field.

And I believe they just re-upped for another six years.

I would like to see the tournament moved around the country more instead of primarily being in Ontario.

Not sure who Jared Du Toit was before today, but he's a Canadian amateur who sits at -6, one shot behind the leader. Pretty cool.

Scratch that, he's now -7, tied with Dustin Johnson for the lead.

I expect Jason Day tanks the rest of his round to get the weekend off.

Poor kid......on his 11th hole he puts up an 8 on a par 5 to drop to -4. Too bad.

I see Du Toit finished up strong today, now at -8, tied for 2nd with Dustin Johnson and 1 stroke behind the leader. Nice!

Players out early Sunday are putting up some impressive scores. Already a 28 on the front nine, with another player 7 under through 13.

Nothing like turning your national championship into a pitch and putt on Sunday.

As an aside, I'm glad that Henderson gets a week off in the LPGA this week. Canada was not one of the countries involved in this weekends events.
