British Open Thoughts
What a finish to a great tournament.  We have a Hall of Fame player in Ernie Els and a player who has the potential to be a Hall of Fame player, Adam Scott.  Both are well liked and respected by the public and their peers.  Elated for Els, disappointed for Scott.

This would have been the first Major win with a putter anchored on the chin or chest.  However, the winner anchored the putter in his belly.  Is this a problem?  I believe it is not consistent with the rules of golf.  Because they have been in use for many years, it will be very difficult to rid the game of them.

Loved the close quarters at Royal Lytham & St. Annes.  Tees and greens very close to each other. 

Loved the wind making the course play like it was supposed to on Sunday.

Loved the good play by a number of American besides Tiger.  Snedecker, Zack Johnson, Dustin Johnson, etc.

Loved the ball flight tracer.  Some of the pros really curve the ball and some hit it will little movement.

Loved the grandstands at #18.  It has to be the coolest experience to walk up #18 at the Open.

Loved the class of Ernie and Adam.  It was awkward for both, but they both were perfect gentlemen during the closing ceremonies.

Can't wait till next year at Muirfield.
