Agree to an extent, but you could say the same thing about Phil's putting. I would venture that he missed more within 10 feet than DC.

Phil made 3 bombs just today.

Didnt get a minute in the speech without referring to the Guinness going in the jug.

Not debating who made the most long putts, as you could also argue Darren got some of the best breaks avoiding bunkers, the discussion (I thought) was strictly on missed (poor) putts and Phil probably missed more than DC IIRC.

Strange, to me that NBC is in the re-broadcast business. By the time they show it, anyone that wanted to see it already has.

NBC doesn't broadcast the British Open.

My bad, ABC.

My bad, ABC.

ESPN carried it live, ABC when Americans are likely to watch. It's all in the family; what difference does it make?

It's just odd to me to say that someone deserves a sports accomplishment.

Fair enough. He seems like a good guy. I didn't think anyone would go Freud on the statement. I thought he's been through a lot and I'm happy for him. That's all I meant. He earned it.

question now is how many times has the Claret Jug been topped off with Guiness

He deserves it only because he shot 3 strokes less than everybody else over 4 days.

Exactly. He deserves it because he went out and won it.

Checking in on the replay. Didn't realize DC had popeye forearms.

Now I find this thread. Made my comments in the golf thread. Refreshing to have a tournament end by noon. If the could start at the crack of dawn during the football season and end by a noon kickoff I'd watch both events.

Glad that DC finally got the big one. DJ will eventually get his, too much talent not to.

Middle of yesterday's round for the last few groups was completely entertaining.
