Ha. I left work and played golf with my dad after Scott birdied 14. I had the stereo on but I heard he blew it right as I pulled into the course. Gag.

It must be said
I’m not sure what’s more pronounced. DeNiro’s disdain for Sly, or his appreciation of that mid-day sammich.

Ernie played well in the final round and waited for someone to collapse. This type of thing isn’t uncommon in the British Open. The biggest collapse that I remember was Jean Van de Velde’s at the 1999 British Open. Needing a double bogey on the 18th hole to win the Open, he shot a triple Bogey and then lost in the playoff.

“Ernie Els … I guess he could pull it off”

Never stop trolling, TBL. Never stop.

Nice picture of Easy E. He looks like some retard that just got something taken away from him.

Mad props to TBL, who boldly predicted that one could “guess” that Els might have a shot at winning. Bold, man, bold.

yep, Jon Lester can go fuck himself. Bobby V shouldnt have left him in for the 2nd inning.

I expect unpreferences NCAA sanctions against Adam Scott any day now.

always good to see the big easy in the winner’s circle – congrats to him.

nothing’s changed with adam scott, his putter, and his ability to choke with class.

mcdowell’s 3-wood on 11 was a humbling moment. not sure what the hell that was about.

tiger is still the best player in the world.

I could have sworn since Steve Williams was his caddie, Adam Scott was guaranteed victory since Williams has “won” 14 majors previously.

Man I hate that narrative.

/good for Big Ern

Strikes me as the type of tournament where everyone remembers who lost more than who won (mitigated by Els being as famous as he is). It’d take some effort to remember who won the years Rocca and Van de Velde lost.

Good for Scott handling it as he did. He and Snedeker will eventually have some very emotional breakthrough major wins in the future.
