Frankly, if not for Oosthuizen (a name everyone in the world would now know how to pronounce), it would have been one heck of a tournament. But that's not to take anything away from Oos. He was solid through the four days, and even though he had the luck of the draw - weather-wise - he still had to post those scores. He held his swing, his head, and his emotions in check through the weekend, and proved to be a great champion in the end. A nice follow through from a lad who comes from a country who gave us an exciting World Cup. ------------------------------------ It was not to be once again for Paul Casey, who proved once again that when the weekend comes, he and his golf game takes a ------------------------------------

Sunday, 18 July 2010 - Someone tell me: Was Louis Oosthuizen from South Africa playing on the same golf course as the rest of the field at this year's Open Championship? It wouldn't appear so from the leaderboard. His 16-under total for the 150th anniversary of this historic event was 7 strokes better than Lee "Second-Place-In-A-Major-Again" Westwood.
break. He played so well the first three days, then when Sunday rolled around - what with its mild weather and a British crowd pulling for the solidly built Englishman with the Popeye forearms - he decided to call it quits. His fourth round 75 was the only over-par round recorded by the top 10 golfers. If he's going to make a name for himself as a world top-10 golfer, he'll have to improve on his final round stats.
Would have, could have, should have. That's Rory McIlroy's story this year. After a blistering first round 63, everybody practically gave him the Claret Jug. But a ghastly 80 saw him play catch up the rest of the week and he made it a good chase out of it. Rory kept his head and his game, and shot 69-68 in the weekend for a tied-3rd finish, his best finish in a major yet. He's got time on his side, and the bookies will probably have him at better than even odds winning a major before he turns 30.
on Sunday, GDS spied about two dozen photographs rushing behind the wall to snap shots of their favourite son. Ishikawa didn't quite disappoint. He played beyond his teenage years to end with a tied-27th place finish, and together with the remarkable amateur Jin Jeong (4-under total, tied-14th) and the ever-steady and consistent Kevin Na (2-under total, tied-27) shared honours as the highest Asian professional in the field.
