Rough final day at Wentworth. The big names and up-and-comers who started the day up front all had awful rounds: Wood and Karlsson shot matching 77s from the lead, and Donald's 17th hole was just painful to watch. The door was wide open for a guy to put up a number early, and Khan answered the call.

Poor way to finish such a high profile tournament.Conditions were so - so but the winner barely manages 6 under?They learned at Augusta a few years back that making a course overly difficult is a good way to go about killing excitement in the very tournament that should be one of the most exciting out there.Since Wentworth is supposed to be the European Tour's flagship event, perhaps they should take heed.The course needed new greens, yes, but you don't have to make them smaller and tougher while you're at it.The fact that there were two players in contention that needed an eagle on the par 5 18th hole, but laid up anyway, says it all.Thought the whole thing was fairly dull and disappointing.Simon Khan only put in one impressive round all week and it was enough to win the tournament.Maybe its just me but that doesn't seem right.But well done to him, he did well today.

Yes he did well, just goes to show at a course like that, post decent rounds on the first 2 days and a number on the final round and your in with a chance.

As for the big guns, Poulter did not turn up, Rory had a poor 4 days full stop, Westwood played up and down but a 66 was nice to finish, Casey was avergae, I thought Donald was gonna do it but at least he is heading in the right direction after injury comeback. Paddy did OK and as for Karlsson and Woods, they gotta be down after 77's on the final day.

But it is a tough course, I mean Els finished +3 and he re-designed it.

Well done Simon K

I didnt see the tourney, but from seeing the scores it looks as if conditions were tough. Winning a tough tourney deserves props. Congrats to KHAAAAAAAN!

For those who follow the Euro Tour, I would sure like to know who said what to the media that prompted Ernie to say that a few of his longtime friends "knifed him"

Anyone have any quotes?

I think he's mostly talking about Lee Westwood, who was quite vocal in the press about his dislike of the new 18th hole, particularly.

"I was a big fan of the [old] finish. People like that excitement of birdies. That's been taken away," he said. "The hole cries out for a green that sits in the opposite direction. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me." "If you're going to spend a lot of money on changes it would be nice to get them right first time round." Here's Ernie's take from today, you can pretty clearly read between the lines. http://www.pgatour.com/2010/r/01/04/els_blog/index.html

I think Casey more than Westwood.

Some quotes from him...

“I know there has been a battle between Richard Caring and Ernie about rough,” Casey said. “Ernie’s vision, whether you agree with it or not, was that the bunkers were the hazards and if you avoid those you can get around this golf course. I know a lot of rough has been grown and I know that Ernie has not liked that. He is trying to get it chopped back as we speak.”

and

Likening the iconic course to a listed building, Casey questioned whether its owner should be allowed to make such dramatic changes. Using Els’s beautiful thatched-roof house that hugs the 16th fairway as an example, he said: “He owns it, but that doesn’t give him the right to paint it pink and put a tin roof on it. If you are an owner of a Grade II listed building, it is much like you are the caretaker for the next generation. If you are the owner of a golf course, it does give you the right to make the changes you want, [but] is that in the best interests of that particular course or golf in general?”
