The good
Louis Oostheizen was never headed going into the final two days. Looked in complete control.
The Open Championship has a knack of producing very famous winners such as Woods, Nicklaus and Norman but is not afraid to give some unknowns the Claret Jug such as Curtis, Hamilton and now Oostheizen.
Jin Jeong - the Korean finished top amateur and resides in Melbourne. He is soon to become an Australian citizen.
The bad
The decision to suspend play due to high winds at St.Andrews was a bad one. High winds at St.Andrews? Who would have guessed.
John Daly kicked over a plant pot exiting the scorers tent on Friday. There shouldn't be trees on a links golf course.
Tiger Woods cursed his way around st.Andrews but kept up a pretty good record of three top-5's in majors this year.
The ugly
K.J.Choi used a croquet style putter and side-stance at The Open - a few other golfers should be trying this.
The shot of the tournament came from Miguel Angel Jiminez. A horrible lie near the greenside bunker on the road hole led to a cut across the green up aginst the wall. The next shot produced the shot of the tournament. See previous post.
John Daly's jacket in the photo of past British Open champions (see above). Hard to tell but he must be one of the shortest Open champions.
Ewan Porter complained that fans deliberately said nothing when they knew where his ball was on Thursday. Pipe down Porter - we deal with lost balls all the time.
