The more things change...

So, Tiger Woods won another Major. Whoopie-shit.

I think a more interesting point is Sergio Garcia's collapse. The guy is talent, there's no question, but one of the big stories Saturday was that he was in position to win his first career major and be the first person to catch Tiger on a Sunday at a Major.

Well, it was not to be.

The part that I find hilarious? Chris, from the pipe band, called this Thursday night in the pub (to paraphrase), "These European guys, they get three good rounds in 'em, and then they go out clubbing Saturday night, because that's what you do on a Saturday night when you're playing well and the toast of the town. Only they end up laying an egg on Sunday because they're still all fucked up from the night before. Meanwhile, people like Tiger are home and getting a good night's sleep. That's how competitive the Americans are."

Now, I'm not sure if that makes me like Sergio Garcia, Colin Montgomery, et. al. more (I'm pretty sure it does), but if Chris is right, it certainly explains a of surprising collapses by European golfers in final rounds of Major Championships, doesn't it?

In other news, I thought it was pretty cool that this year's British Open was being held at Royal Liverpool in Hoylake, England, which is only a few miles from where my paternal grandparents were born!

Okay, so maybe I'm the only one that cares about that....
