As do I. I'm almost as good as him as well :pac:.

Stenson writes with his left hand but plays golf right handed. That's unusual

A certain Phil Mickelson does the same, except vice-versa. Golf in fact, is the only thing he does left-handed!



EDIT: Beaten to it!

It is but I think it makes perfect sense. His left is his leading hand. It may result in more control on the ball.

for a two plane swinger it's all left hand, one plane is right hand...but I think it's whatever you are used to.
at this stage they have all hit so many shots that the appropriate hand/arm/shoulder is plenty strong enough and used to it.

Can't say I'm surprised, those yanks are kinda weird too.

WHIP IT!

do Zach johnsen and stenson not talk. They literally threw the score cards at each other

Was weird wasn't it! Johnson just rudely slid the card across the table without so much as looking in Stenson's direction!

A few words between Tiger and Steve.

Poor ol tiger looks like crying:D

both lads simply devastated after missing out on major glory, that is all, let us not be hitting the online fora trying to suggest that are mortal enemies

Speak Now

Couldn't be more delighted with the way it all worked out. Good man Phil.

Interesting bit of info from Azinger on ESPN just there. Phil studied psychology at Uni. Very strong mentally, can't ever remember seeing him flustered.

I like phil and am made up for him. But dont like watching him after with family . grand for a while but an hour. Had to flick over to Ulster Final. Awful fall by so many.

Winner alright!

I really enjoyed the Open this year.

Many thanks to all who contributed to this thread.

where did you get that from his post?
he said don't make things up about people.
two mins after they apparently hated each other, I saw them laughing and joking in the scorers tent.

Rippeditup

That interview with Westwood was cringe as he looked gutted and they just kept asking about Phil.. He looked fit to strangle the interviewer..

Shhhh...we're trying to stir up some controversy here.


I still can't believe Phil manage to win it, I still can't believe he's still well able to win majors. He'll still be in contention in many majors for the next few years.

I assume Mickelson is in a better mood than the other day.

Are you for real? "Don't make things up about people"??

I'll quote your good self I s'pose:

looks like you just had a reading failure.
I clearly said
"he said don't make things up about people"

I didn't imply that you made anything up, I was merely pointing out to you that he didn't say not to talk about golf.

Everyone's got a camera or telephone these days.

Peter Alliss showing how up-to-date he is with modern technology.

Great BBC montage

People always seem to knock Peter but the open coverage wouldn't be the same without him.

I must be the only one that really enjoys listening to him!

A shocker from the Irish this week.

For a long time I was not a fan of Phil's I do not know he always looked arrogant and snobbish but the last couple maybe its all these stories of what he does and his interviews I have watched I have warmed up to him. Poor lee though he must be in bits

Edit: He has a very good looking wife.

cack_handed

I like Alliss too, more like him than not I would say. Some of his technical observations were very sharp, liked Faldo when they had him on too, speaks an enormous amount of good sense

rednik

Superb final round from Phil and overall a great Open. Muirfield was a beast.

Aidric

Just listening to Phil's press conference there. He was asked about the importance of Bones to him. You could see and hear the emotion in him when describing their relationship, some partnership they've had over 20+ years.

Bones was also in tears when Phil collected the trophy. Nice moments.

I feel the same way. I used to struggle to understand why the US fans loved him so much, but now I kinda get it.
