Golf : The Open

[Geraint Jones]

I`m not a massive fan of the game , a good walk ruined as some say but i`m hugely disappointed that Tom Watson missed out on winning . Almost 40 hours of watching, for him to bogey on the 18th and go to the play off . At almost 60 it would have been fantastic for him to have got his 6th Open title alas it was not to be.

yeah it would have been nice to see him win it and not to sound callous after he turned in such a great performance on the previous 71 holes, but quite frankly, he choked and didn't hit that last putt like a champion. he seemed like the guy that had never won, not the guy that won 8 majors. i know there are no easy putts in that situation, but from his backswing alone i knew he wasn't sinking that one.

congratulations to stewart cink. i sincerely hope he's not another one of these guys that wins one major and then disappears back into obscurity (like zack johnson)

Such an easy sport, maybe that's why I grew bored of it.

Just : fun at myself

I played the first round of golf in about 3 weeks, it's not an easy sport to be great at, I like it and enjoy the challenge. I wish Norman had of won but like was already said-choked.

He made a bad putt - choke is an awfully big accusation. Despite their brilliance, they make mistakes. I've seen Phil (the chip shot master) chunk chips, it happens.

At 60 and to be in the position he was in, is remarkable - don't let one swing take away from that.

Yes, very true Strum, I even put Norman up instead of Watson. I must be getting the age factor working on me. I know it is working on my golf game too.:
