Both players produced an exhibition of world-class golf on the way out and both were four under par for their front nines at Royal Troon. That left Stenson at 16-under for the championship, with Mickelson at 15-under.

Swede Stenson had bogeyed the first but birdied the next three holes and picked up further shots at the long sixth and the short eighth, the Postage Stamp.
