Philly Mick must be absolutely gutted today. To start the day 1 behind and shoot 65 on the last day of a Major and lose by 3 shots just shows the quality of Stenson's golf. Always enjoyed watching Stenson play, hope he steps up now and wins more Majors.

Yes must be gutted life can be hard sometimes with 200 million in the bank.

Waking up with nothing and no prospects must be a little harder

I get what your saying Gordon but it wont take long to get over it

I feel so sorry for the guy that I would consider swapping places with him and he can have my 9-5 office job instead

I think i know Henrik's secret, on every tee it looked like he was drinking Um Bongo.


so not only has he cornered the market for Grafalloy Blue shafts, he had the only supply of the Congo Fav drink!

Beef - I hope he keeps it all together as he is a cracking golfer with a personality

He was brilliant wasn't he, loved watching him smiling and seeming enjoying the game.

At one time they showed him slapping the crowds hands walking up one of the holes and then bbc interviewing him and he was saying something like 'I love it, have to give back to the crowd etc', was a joy to see someone bubbling personality and grateful etc.

A swing of his own as well, hope he shots plenty of good scores as would love to see him again and being given air time.

And that's why it will be hard for him. He doesn't need the money, he's just playing for the wins, and Major wins at that.

As they said afterwards it's probably harder to win a major now that it ever has been and he's not going to get too many more chances.

I do feel for the guy, but how many times has he done that to others. Goes both ways.

So please for Henrik though. Just love the way he plays the game. Just pounds the crap out the ball.

tbh, could have gone either way. Phil had one put just die off the hole at the end, if Henrik hadn't had sunk that monster. Basically just came down to 1-2 things that went right for him. But you gota put yourself in that position for them to matter though !

That was great, I heard it as well. Total professionalism has not yet sucked the joy out of the game for him. I hope it never does. He will have sponsors lining up for him.

'Beef' was brilliant - so down to earth and genuine. Whenever I saw him though he did remind me of the Matt Lucas character out of 'Come Fly with Me'!!



Wish him every success in the future. He's the type of guy who will encourage more youngsters into the game. However if his stock continues to rise, I'm sure he'll have the usual calls to get fit and change his lifestyle etc etc. I am sure the American galleries are going to love him though and hope he has another great showing at the USPGA.

Beef was brilliant, a guy behind us on 16th tee on Sunday shouted as he walked over "come on beef, give it some roast" his response "well it is the right day for it"

Great character
