By the numbers: Key stats from Stenson's Open win

Henrik Stenson finally got that elusive major title on Sunday, carding a record-tying 63 to beat out Phil Mickelson and claim the claret jug.

Here are the key stats from the final round at Royal Troon:

• Stenson’s 264 total is the lowest 72-hole total score in major history. The previous low was 265 by David Toms at the 2001 PGA Championship, where Mickelson was also the runner up.

• Stenson is the second player in history to shoot a final-round 63 in a major. Johnny Miller shot 63 in the final round of the 1973 U.
