Yes, a stunning final round, I was riveted to the TV on my oil rig when my shift finished, watching it until the early hours, regretted it a couple of hours later when I was back on shift!. No, comments spot on, Lefty could have gone on to win & Woods showed the mental toughness which seperates him from the others who have similar golfing ability. Really pleased for Angel Cabrera though, a working class guy beating all the indulged, privileged Americans !

Hi Mark, nice comments and good work with the pun at the end! I agree that had fellow Lefty, Phil Mickelson, not found the water at the 12th then he would probably have gone on to win or at the very least have been involved in the play off. It was incredible golf to watch, and having watched it through HD for the first time it was even more clear to see just how stunning a golf course Augusta really is - how I would love to play a few holes round there! I would tip Woods to win one of the majors this year, and would not be at all surprised to see Mcllroy win The Open at Turnberry, he grew up on Irish links and with his confidence and exuberance I expect him to perform very well.
