So that leaves Justin Rose. He just gets better and better as far as I am concerned, and his performance at the Ryder Cup should give him even more self-belief.
So, taking all in all, I think Justin Rose might just be the surprise package for next year.

Its amazing how you throw that word we around so much.Personally I prefer one one ones to consensus of the clique. Pretty cowardly to have to take a poll before you can post, absolutely pathetic.....but I digress, just though I'd pop in and say hi to the Eldrick is God Clique and ask how you all enjoyed this years US Open🙂........Our man aint playing til the British because he is sore, even skipping his own tournament. And the clock goes tick, tock, tick, tock......AWEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAW!!!!!
Originally posted by dryhumpYes he does. And as the years third major concludes, we salute the mighty Eldrick for posting a higher score each and every day of the British Open. And the clock goes tick, tock, tick, tock..........aaweeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!
Jack Nicklaus eats Rory McIlroy for breakfast, then just before lunch, he defecates Tiger Woods.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieTotally agree. Phil Mickelson is a class act....
I have to admit that I am no fan of golf, infact, i think its the worst evah, but the chap who won the open was a thoroughly respectful dude, modest i would say and we in Scotland are glad that he won it!
Originally posted by robbie carrobieOh dear, I am going to agree with you. It must be the heat.

Actually, most professional golfers behave very well, and show standards of behaviour some other sports could only dream of. Americans, I think, are (bar Woods) particularly good and show a deep respect for the game. Tom Watson, Justin Leonard etc have all taken victory and bitter defeat in the majors with equal good grace. I could name many others.
Phil Mickelson, as you say, is carrying on the tradition. A couple of years back he missed out to Darren Clarke and he looked almost as happy as the winner.
And as for Woods, didn't his parents ever tell him it is not acceptable to spit in a public space? What an example to set.
😠
Originally posted by Rank outsiderI have been waiting a long tome for some sensible people to post in this thread. Great observations, the game was much more dignified before Woods came along.

Originally posted by Rank outsiderSo many of my 'friends', have been in an agreeable frame of mind of late, sunshine dos that, it puts people in a good mood, anyway, there is something beautiful about modesty in victory, something dignified, as i never watched the event I cannot comment on Mr. Woods behaviour, although in interviews he did seem a little grumpy, complaining about the greens, sometimes they were fast and sometimes they were slow. I was at Gullane beach a month or so before the open and even managed to stray onto the golf course, where a rather portly gentlemen assured me that i would be safe providing his partner managed to hit the ball down the slope rather than across it. But I cannot leave without saying, Adam Gilchrist walked! nuff said!

Even better, I played with a Scot, and he ended up paying for lunch due to my flawless execution of outrageously lucky golf.
I think he must have been quite religious as well, as he seemed to be praying as we went round, which got a bit louder as my ball bounced off the edge of a bunker at the 17th to roll up stone dead for a birdie to close out the match.
Originally posted by Rank outsiderLOL, golfers are from another planet i am convinced, but it seems beyond doubt that there is an element of luck to their madness, i was rather interested to see their regalia, crazy patterned shirts, outrageous trousers and unusual styled hats that looked like a muffin gone wrong. Aye its a bonnie part of the coast to be sure, for a Glaswegian, its like a foreign country, but it seems that technically these Link courses are somewhat of a challenge and require a special type of play, could you comment if it is the case?
