Henrik Stenson 2016 'Open Championship Clinching' Match Worn & Signed and Inscribed Shirt

Sotheby’s is proud to present Henrik Stenson’s 2016 Open Championship Match Worn and Signed Shirt. Stenson wore this shirt during his historic victory at the 145th Open Championship at Royal Troon, one of the greatest performances in the history of major golf.

Across four days of brilliant and composed play, Stenson delivered a masterclass in precision and consistency, firing a final-round 63—tying the lowest round ever in a major championship at the time—to finish at 264 (–20), the lowest total in a major championship at the time. His extraordinary performance earned him a three-stroke victory over Phil Mickelson and marked the first major championship win of his career, as well as the first ever by a Swedish male golfer.

Stenson signed and inscribed the shirt "Francois, MAJOR proud to be part of team AP".

The shirt is photomatched by SIA. The signature has been authenticated by James Spence Authentication. The lot is accompanied by a photograph of Stenson.
