The 145th Open

Phil Mickelson lost his overnight advantage as Henrik Stenson moved in to a narrow one-shot lead, but the 2013 champion features after a ridiculous chip from the thick gorse to leave a birdie-three.

Stenson produced a bogey-free back-nine to move into pole position at the top of the leaderboard, with his lengthy par-save at the 10th kick-starting that run.
