British Open Prize Money 2016: Final Leaderboard, Total Purse and Payouts

Henrik Stenson won the 2016 British Open on Sunday with a round of 63 to record an overall total of 20 shots under par, three ahead of the closest challenger, Phil Mickelson.

Four birdies on the final five holes sealed the Championship for the Swede, who entered Round 4 tied at the top of the standings at 12-under with his American rival.

The victory secured the world No. 6 his first Major title, with the Royal Troon course once again selected for the 145th edition of the legendary tournament, the first time since 2004.

Mickelson produced a superb bogey-free 65 on his fourth round of the weekend but ended his time in Scotland as a runner-up in a Major for the 11th time in his career, per BBC Sport.
