Return to Royal Troon: A Nostalgic British Open

Jim 'Bones' Mackay returns to Royal Troon with a lighter load as a TV commentator instead of a caddie. The iconic course, hosting its 10th British Open, is celebrated for Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson's legendary 2016 match. Mackay reflects on the unforgettable moments and highest-level golf witnessed.

Jim 'Bones' Mackay returns to Royal Troon, this time with a microphone and headset, rather than the 40-pound golf bag he once carried. The new role at this British Open is a welcome change.

Royal Troon, hosting golf's oldest championship for the 10th time, is synonymous with the 2016 match where Henrik Stenson and Phil Mickelson delivered a thrilling performance. 'It was really special,' Mackay, Mickelson's caddie in 2016, reminisced.

Stenson won with a birdie on the final hole, setting a major championship record of 264. The energy and level of play were unparalleled, weaving an indelible memory in the history of golf.
