Open champion Henrik Stenson spoke Tuesday (26th July) ahead of the PGA Championship at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey

SOUNDBITE: (English) Henrik Stenson, 2016 Open Champion:

"Yeah, it's been an exciting time since we finished off at Troon. A couple of hectic days; a lot of media back home in Sweden. It was huge - for me, of course, but for Swedish golf, as well, we have been waiting for a male player to win a major championship for the last 25 years, and it finally happened - well, forever I guess. But certainly in the last 25 years since some of the early players had some chances, Jesper Parnevik in particular. That was massive. Then I had some time with the family and of course I could every now and again give that Claret Jug a little glare and it brought a grin to my face every time, I'm sure. Yeah, it's fantastic. It's a boyhood dream come true and something I wanted to achieve all my life, and then it finally happened."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Henrik Stenson, 2016 Open Champion:

Q. What was the first thing you drank out of the Claret Jug, and in the last week, have you had any chance to have a memorable celebration or moment with it?

"Yeah, we've had - it was champagne, and it was champagne, and it was champagne. So it's been a few occasions."
