I would say those two comparisons are very, very close. Keep in mind, Mickelson missed 2 putts on Sunday that were less than 6 feet for birdie, and he lipped out a chip on number 2 for birdie. Stenson has two 3 putts for the round, still shoots 63. Both of these guys were absolutely remarkable....This was as good as it gets in my book...
