Henrik Stenson is your 2016 British Open champion. He did it with a stunning final-round 63, outlasting Phil Mickelson by three shots. Oh, and, by the way, Stenson finished 14 SHOTS AHEAD of third-place finisher J.B. Holmes.
Champion Golfer of the Year is certainly the nicest part of this win for the 40-year-old Swede, but he also picked up some serious dough, too.
