Phil Mickelson's cumulative score of 267 at The Open would have tied the all-time Open scoring record, but that still wasn't enough to defeat Henrik Stenson, who fired a 20-under 264 to win his first major title.

Stenson shot 63 on Sunday in the final pairing with Mickelson, who was left helpless despite a tremendous 65 of his own. Less than two weeks later, Mickelson is looking to move on from that disappointing finish, noting that there was nothing he could have done more, outside of blatant sabotage, to beat Stenson.
