Wow these old threads can really come back and bite you!
I actually would have agreed with the OP at the time but well done Ernie on turning it around.

Excellent win but he shouldn't have had to rely on Scott losing it. So many putts short at the start of his round. Glad he won though and it was an exciting end.

haha good work
i didn't see els winning to be honest, the open seems to suit the more mature golfer in these last few years

Glad I didn't post in the thread back then - always thought Ernie would win another major
BUT.... will he now follow Darren Clarke and have a year off?

If he had of done I also would have wanted to put my arms round him... but for slightly different reasons.

Agree but to be fair Dodger he kept going when others couldn't, Scott and GMac had stinkers in the end both shooting +5. All Ernie could do was finish his best and see what happened.

Glad to see I inspired the big chap to prove me wrong!
Now the USA will win the Ryder Cup!
You can only do what you can do and if the others fall away then you win. I'm sure Els wouldn't have wanted to see Scott melt away like that but he was a gracious winner

Similar to when Lawrie won it - great final round but relying on someone else to collapse.
As others have said, you can only control your own ball (unless you're Tiger with a driver in your hand) and all you can do is shoot the best you can. If it's good enough, you deserve to win.

Writing someone with the talent of Els off is a little bit silly really. One thing showed today that the old saying form is temporary & class is permanent is very true. Woods is still not that comfortable in the major arena yet. Feel sorry for Scott, but if he has Jaq to comfort him then he should feel better real soon. Does the big man know Jaq?
