Phil Mickelson shot a bogey-free, final-round 65 at The Open Championship earlier this month only to be beaten by Henrik Stenson's 63 in an epic showdown. The tournament at Royal Troon will be remembered for the incredible duel rather than anything Mickelson could have done differently.
But the outcome was the 11th time Lefty has finished runner-up in a major championship, surpassing the 10 second-place finishes by Arnold Palmer.
