Ping is racking up some wins this year. I hope their mojo gets transferred to my game :-p

Bummer - I read some people weren't getting it. Who is your provider? I'm on Verizon. Can u bypass via VPN/proxy?

Yeah, nice one Shrek!

Four under-par rounds, seven shot margin, didn't crack when his playing partner blew on the home stretch. Good win.

Stretch.

Obviously, we're all golf fans who tend this forum. I'm definitely a BIG golf fan.

That being said.

This major was quite boring. And I'm not one to throw that term out lightly.

Lee Westwood plays the bridesmaid yet again, solo second place but seven strokes behind. This is the fourth time in twelve months that it's been said, but his time to win a major is coming.

As an American, the final leaderboard is distressing. Westwood, Casey, Stenson, McIlroy, Kaymer, and Robert Rock all appear above the first American. Colin Montgomerie can make two teams that would be better than the US team of now. An old-fashioned Britain and Ireland team would embarrass us, and we'd be a toss-up against an all-Continent team. The fairways at Celtic Manor will be stained with Yankee blood in October, and there's no way of avoiding it.

I'm looking forward to it. Should I bring a sponge and a bucket?

(Having said that, a lot can change over the next couple of months - but if it was held now I think the score would be rather lopsided. Unless the Americans get a bit of that team mojo they had last time again)

I do agree that it looks like the US may be in trouble. But, the Ryder Cup is still a ways off. You can't automatically assume that the US players will play poorly and the Euro's will play well. Plus, the Ryder Cup is a totally different animal and can't be compared to stroke play events.

Let's not forget this is St Andrews, and links golf. Something the US players are not as used to. Players that frequently play the European Tour plays in more rain and wind than on the PGA Tour. Two out the top three in the US Open was European, with one from RSA, but behind them, there was a lot of Americans.

Europe probably has the strongest field in a long time, but anything can happen in the Ryder Cup.

This open was only boring insofar as one player ran away with it in the best of conditions. Look how close it was for those who suffered with the weather 3rd day from 2nd down on the leaderboard.

Did the "Champion Golfer of the Year" really wear a hat during the awards ceremony and reference the tournament during his awards interview as the "British Open".......I am sure all you Brits out there were cringing.....


Oh my...........but very well played.

An ironic post - for non-Tigerophiles, some of his major championship wins had extrememly boring finishes.

nice work luis!

Whistling Straits is a beast of a course, quite long and pretty 'wild'.It's kind of a semi-links course.I have a feeling it'll be another brutal Major to go along with Pebble and the two hard days at St.Andrews.Grinder like Harrington might go well there.

It wouldnt have mattered, he was heads and shoulders above every golfer out there the last 3 days anyways. Nobody else came close to how Oosthuizen played. No one closed the gap in good weather either. Oos.....dominated the field.
