Which golfer won The Open at Muirfield in 2013?
Answer
Phil Mickelson
Answer
Phil Mickelson
Phil Mickelson won The Open at Muirfield in 2013.
Mickelson captured the 142nd Open Championship at Muirfield Golf Links in Gullane, East Lothian, Scotland. He finished at 281, three under par, and won by three strokes over Henrik Stenson. His decisive final round was a five-under-par 66, one of the most memorable closing rounds in Open history.
The victory was Mickelson's first Open Championship and his fifth major title. It was especially significant because he had struggled at The Open for much of his career, with relatively few top-ten finishes before finally winning in Scotland. He had also won the Scottish Open the week before, giving him remarkable back-to-back success in Scottish links golf.
Muirfield has hosted The Open many times and has produced champions including Nick Faldo in 1992 and Ernie Els in 2002. Justin Rose, Rory McIlroy and Henrik Stenson are all major championship-calibre golfers, but none won the 2013 Open at Muirfield; Stenson was the runner-up.
