SHOCKING: Who holds the scoring record at the open - What They Never Told You

Henrik Stenson Troon 2016

It was a record that many thought would never be beaten – at least not for a very long time. When Tiger Woods completed the career grand slam at St Andrews in 2000, he did so with rounds of 67, 66, 67 and 69 for a winning score of 269 (19-under-par).

That record was eventually trumped, however, when Henrik Stenson dismantled Royal Troon in 2016 to post a winning score of 264 (20-under-par) with rounds of 68, 65, 68 and 63.
