A Few Thoughts

Not the most exciting British Open today but very good golf played by Louis Oosthuzien.  He was cool as a cucumber.  Never challenged by Paul Casey and was really able to enjoy his walk up 17 and 18, a feeling most golfers don't get to do.  He drew the praise of the USA commentators Tom Watson, Curtis Strange, Paul Azinger and Tom Weiskopf all major champion winners.
Watching Tiger Woods today was very odd.  I've never seen him seem as at ease while not playing well.  He doesn't seem to care what others think so it couldn't be the fact that he was dropping F Bombs on Saturday and was trying to relax a little today.   Tiger is almost having to reboot his computer so to speak and it's taking a while.  Meanwhile the usual suspects aren't showing up, aah that would be Phil Mickelson, and lots of up and comers are.
Watching 4 days of St. Andrews this week has, for the 1st time, really fueled my juices to go there and play. May have to work on making a trip there in the next year or so.  The golf course looked great and just really a unique style of golf.
