English people don't understand yaarkshire so no chance.

Peter Aliss whining about slow play, he's not wrong but he's utterly monotonous about it.

Stop all the only one other Englishman has won it, Lyle was born in Shrewsbury and Woosnam Oswestry. In fact I think all about 50 miles away from each other along with Faldo.

Can understand someone who's not won it before bottling it, but not someone who's already won it.

I guess there are different pressures. Being a little bit ahead and knowing you just need to be 'solid' was what he didn't get his head around.

Pretty brutal hour or so for Spieth, being last on the course knowing you've stuffed it. The interview. Then having to present the green jacket to the guy who's just beaten you.

Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding for the Champions dinner with spotted dick or jam roly-poly pudding for afters.

Suet and Lard it's what makes champions.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Was mostly sausage rolls and chicken breast fillets when I became World Champion. Scrabble has a lot of finishes that are as brutal as that one. Fortunately I haven't been on the wrong end of too many myself.

Missed the last few holes unfortunately, but saw Spieth on the 12th. He's going to be gutted of course. Well done to Willett though, held his nerve and won a bloody major. Westwood surely deserves one, may be running out of opportunities

Shrewsbury to Oswestry is 18 miles.

So between us that's 25 different pick and not a single podium place!

But of fun though. Thanks for keeping track Vimes.

I was thinking of Willets, but he was actually pretty high-ranked. Think perhaps the ranking threshold was a bit too high, but ho-hum.

Thank you Sam Vimes, it did add something extra to a fun Masters weekend...quit my job, won this! Success!

 

[Shady Slim]

[Anil]

looks like fowler and spieth are going to miss the cut at the players...great charge up the leaderboard from mcilroy today, day dominating the tournament so far...

 

[Anil]

a dramatically different day at sawgrass, day somehow hangs on and mcilroy fades...

 

[Anil]

wire-to-wire for day...7th win in 17 tournaments...!

those royal and ancient neanderthals are finally waking up to the second half of the 20th century...they haven't reached the 21st century yet but this is a step in the right direction...
