A disappointing Open for the spectator.

I settled down on Sunday as I normally do to watch the last group complete their final 18 holes with my usual feeling of expectation. We would see some drama on these final 18 holes. Nerves would get the better of Louis Oosthuizen and we would be in for a close and entertaining finish. It was not to be! No challenge was made in the first few holes from Casey or Westwood thus applying pressure and testing Oosthuizen’s nerve. As early as the 5th I felt it was all over. Congratulations to Louis Oosthuizen. Winning The Open is no mean feat. I am particularly impressed that after the first 2 rounds he was able to continue to build on it and win. If you take away McIlroy’s 63 on the first day, Oosthuizen effectively led The Open from start to finish. He has some record now – played 4 missed the cut 3 times, won once.
