2013 Open Championship, Round summaries, First round
Zach Johnson was the first round leader after shooting a 5-under-par 66. Both Johnson and Indian outsider Shiv Kapur reached 6-under during their rounds before dropping shots on the tougher back nine, Kapur doing so during difficult afternoon conditions by birdieing six of his first seven holes. Two Spaniards, 49-year-old Miguel Ángel Jiménez and Rafa Cabrera-Bello, had also reached 5-under before late bogeys, as had veteran Mark O'Meara.


2013 Open Championship, Round summaries, First round
Two seniors were in the top five: O'Meara (56 years old), the 1998 champion, was tied for second at 67 and Tom Lehman (54), the 1996 champion, was tied for fourth at 68. Defending champion Ernie Els shot 74 (+3), tarnished by a triple-bogey after bunker trouble at the 16th. World number one Tiger Woods, playing in the tough later conditions, opened with a bogey after snap-hooking his tee shot and taking an unplayable lie, but fought his way back to 69 (−2) in pursuit of his 15th major championship. Out-of-form world number two Rory McIlroy, however, struggled to a 79 (+8) despite an early tee time. Phil Mickelson, four-time major champion and the winner of the previous week's Scottish Open, also had a 69 despite a closing bogey.


2013 Open Championship, Round summaries, Second round
At the end of the second round, nine players were under par, and the cut line was +8. Jiménez was the leader at 139 (−3). Dustin Johnson, Henrik Stenson, Lee Westwood, and Woods were all one shot behind at 140.

Westwood's 70 (−1) took the 54-hole lead at 210 (−3), which included a long eagle at the 5th hole. Hunter Mahan shot 68 (−3) to move into a tie for second at 212 (−1). Woods held sole possession of the lead early in the round, but carded 72 (+1) to fall back to 212 with Mahan. Adam Scott shot 70 (−1) to move to even-par 213.


2013 Open Championship, Round summaries, Final round
Through the first six holes, 54-hole leader Westwood was even for the day, but then faltered down the stretch. After a bogey on the 8th, Westwood relinquished the lead to Scott, who birdied the 11th to go two-under for the championship. Westwood bogeyed three more holes to finish at +1. "I didn't play badly, but I didn't play great", he remarked.


2013 Open Championship, Round summaries, Final round
Mickelson, who started the round five shots back, carded a 34 (−2) on the front nine to get to even-par for the championship. After bogeying the 10th, he got back to even par with a birdie at the 13th, then birdied the 14th while Scott bogeyed the 13th and the two were tied for the lead at −1. After two pars, Mickelson birdied the final two holes to finish at 281 (−3). At that point, about an hour of play remained but Mickelson knew he had all but won the event. Scott followed up his bogey on the 13th with bogeys on each of the next three holes.


2013 Open Championship, Round summaries, Final round
Stenson shot 70 (−1) and finished three strokes back of Mickelson in second place at even-par 284. Ian Poulter got hot in the middle of his round and posted a 67 (−4) to tie for third with Scott and Westwood. Woods started the day two strokes off the lead, but shot a 74 (+3) to tie for sixth. Mahan, who also started the day two strokes back, carded a 75 (+4) and tied for ninth.


2013 Open Championship, Round summaries, Final round
Mickelson attained his fifth major title and first Open Championship. He had previously struggled at the event, recording just two finishes in the top-10 in 19 tries. Mickelson's caddy, Jim "Bones" Mackay, called the final round "the best round of his career." Mickelson agreed, saying "I don't care how I got it, [the Claret Jug trophy] ...it just so happened to be with one of the best rounds of my career ... I've always tried to go out and get it ... And today I did."
