Well done to Graeme McDowell for winning the Welsh Open @ The Celtic Manor Twenty Ten course.

I was watching it live on Golf Channel and was glued to the TV!

GMac was a worthy winner, but Davies was tearing the course apart, some of the putts he holed were unreal - I thought there was a 59 on the cards at one point.

Yeah some of the cheers that went up around the course when Davies holed out were unreal, the biggest when he dropped the put for eagle on 15

I would have followed him but he only had 4 holes left and Gmac was on 10 so we followed him for the last 8.

Europe's going to have a great team this year.

Westwood, Poulter, Rory, McDowell, Jiminez, Quiros and even Justin Rose is getting back into form.

Harrington is getting better too.

As promissed here are a few pics, crap quality as taken on camera phone and they were moving on most shots, as you can see the weather here in Wales was closing in at the end of the round and the wind picked up too making Gmac's last 3 holes play longer as wind was towards them.
