TROON, Scotland -- Now, Phil Mickelson knows how Jack Nicklaus felt that day at Turnberry. Cheap Air Max Shoes .Sometimes, youre just not good enough. Even when you play your best.Mickelson turned in what would normally go down as one of the greatest closing rounds in major championship history -- a bogey-free, 6-under 65 at Royal Troon.Lefty was two shots better than anyone else in the field.Except for one.Henrik Stenson, in an epic match with Mickelson that rivaled the Duel in the Sun at Turnberry in 1977, made 10 birdies -- 10! -- on the way to a 63 that gave the Swede the first major title of his career and the lowest score in the history of the major championships.Mickelson could only shake his head -- hell probably be doing that a lot in the days to come -- as he pondered how Stenson snatched this one away.Its probably the best Ive played and not won, Mickelson said, trying to figure out how a 17-under 267 finished three shots behind Stenson. Thats probably why its disappointing in that I dont have a point where I can look back and say, `I should have done that or `Had I only done this. I played a bogey-free round of 65 on the final round of a major. Usually thats good enough to do it. And I got beat. I got beat by 10 birdies.When the final group stepped to the first tee, the sun broke through the clouds for the first time in three days. That was fitting, as it rekindled memories of a sun-splashed day 39 years ago at another course in the British Open rotation, the one just 25 miles down the Scottish coastline.In a shot-for-shot showdown between two of the games greatest players, Tom Watsons 65 was just good enough to beat Nicklaus 66. The next-closest finisher was 10 strokes behind.It certainly crossed my mind a little bit out there today, that match when Jack and Tom went head to head there in `77, Mickelson said. I know that I wanted to be more of Tom in this case than Jack, but I understand how it feels. Its bittersweet.This one followed much the same script. Stenson began the day with a one-stroke lead, a deficit Mickelson erased with a birdie at the very first hole. They went back and forth from there, pouring in birdie after birdie -- and even an eagle from Lefty at No. 4.Their games were so in sync that, at one hole, they had to consult on who was away. The margin never was more than a single stroke until the 15th hole. Thats where Stenson finally gained the upper hand, rolling in a 50-foot birdie putt from off the green.Mickelsons last gasp came at the par-5 16th, where a 30-foot eagle try brushed the left side of the cup and stopped, but didnt drop in. Stenson made a matching birdie, pulling off a nifty up-and-down from the thick grass left of the green.Stenson finished it off with another birdie at the final hole, giving him the lowest score in major championship history. The two players gave each other a hug, then walked off the green with their arms around each others shoulders, much as Nicklaus and Watson did on that day at Turnberry.Mickelson gave Stensons wife, Emma, a peck on the cheek, before fading away to let the champion have his moment.Next on the leaderboard was J.B. Holmes, a staggering 11 shots behind the runner-up.Its disappointing to come in second, but Im happy for Henrik, Mickelson said. Ive always thought that he is one of the best ball strikers in the game and that major championships are perfectly suited for him. I knew that he would ultimately come through and win. Im happy that he did. Im disappointed that it was at my expense.At 46, Mickelson knows that his window for winning a sixth major title is beginning to close. As it was, he wouldve been the second-oldest champion in Open history. No one older than 48 has won any major championship.You know, its not like I have decades left of opportunities to win majors, so each one means a lot to me, Mickelson said. I put in my best performance today. Played close to flawless golf and got beat.At least Lefty wont have long to lament his 11th runner-up finish in a major, which is second only to Nicklaus -- theres that name again -- with 19. The PGA Championship begins in less than two weeks at Baltusrol, where Mickelson won that title in 2005.We dont have a month to wait between majors is a good thing for me, Mickelson said. Im excited where my game is at and where its headed.But, he quickly added, Im disappointed that it wasnt enough today.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963.

Giroud, who wasnt in the starting lineup for two matches after allegations about his private life and a decline in form, scored twice in the first half.

BOSTON -- Jimmy Hayes emerged as an unlikely source of offense for the Bruins.Hayes scored the games only goal early in the first period and Tuukka Rask made 18 saves as Boston held on for a 1-0 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday.Hayes goal was his first in seven games and only his second in 28 games this season.You try to help the team whenever you can, and today I got an opportunity so its nice to cash in on one, Hayes said.It was a much-needed boost with leading scorer David Pastrnak sidelined after having right elbow surgery on Friday. Pastrnaks 19 goals rank second in the NHL behind Pittsburghs Sidney Crosby (21).Its going to be huge (for others to step up), Hayes said. A guy like that whos been scoring for us, scoring some big time goals for us on a regular basis. Youre going to need other guys to step up and thats going to have to be the mentality going forward.Bruins coach Claude Julien hopes Hayes performance serves as a spark after his sluggish start. Hayes ranked ninth on the team with 29 points (13 goals, 16 assists) last season.He resembled probably the older Hayes that we had at times last year than the one weve seen this year, Julien said.Rask recorded his fourth shutout of the season for the Bruins, who improved to .500 at home (8-8-0) after losing two straight games and five of six coming in.Its one of those games that you only need one bad bounce or one really good chance for them to tie it, and today we didnt even give them that, Rask said.Rask tied Minnesota goalie Devan Dubnyk for the league lead in shutouts, and now has 34 for his career.Peter Budaj had 29 saves for the Kings, who had won their previous two games. Los Angeles was outshot 30-18.Hey, we just played our fourth game today in 6 1/2 days and we played oour (butts) off again today, Sutter said. Cheap Air Max 2017. .Sutter opted to sit the struggling Marian Gaborik, who has just one goal and three assists through nine games.We have that right in the locker room as players and coaches to have high expectations of players in terms of how they play, Sutter said.Colin Millers wrister from the top of the right circle caught a piece of Hayes stick and zipped past Budaj 4:20 into the opening period. Hayes was initially credited with an assist on Millers goal, but the call was changed. Dominic Moore also assisted on the goal.Just being in the right spot at the right time, Hayes said about his timely score.Hayes has gone 45 games without an assist dating to Feb. 22. He is three points shy of 100 for his career.Kyle Clifford went to the locker room at 3:24 of the third after taking a hit from the Bruins Adam McQuaid while chasing a puck in the corner.
