4. Phil Mickelson posts 63 early, watches as wind gusts eliminate multiple contenders.

Claiming his second Claret Jug, Mickelson’s 8-under round is the lowest-ever final score by an Open winner. The round is highlighted by an eagle at the double-green 14th while Woods is on the fourth hole portion. Mickelson leaps in the air after sinking his putt and in the game’s greatest show of sportsmanship since Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson at Turnberry, Woods tips his cap to Mickelson, who returns the gesture.
