2010 Open Championship, Your Kneejerk Impressions
/
The Sunday scene at St. Andrews after play. Where else can fans do this? (click to enlarge)I'm at a loss for words and trying to file a 1000 words on a course that as usual, requires a book. Especially when I'm more convinced than ever that it's far superior to anything on the planet.
In the meantime, I want to share with you this transcript highlight from earlier in the week in case you were wondering about pronunciation.
Q. First of all, could you tell us exactly how you would like your name to be pronounced, please?
LOUIS OOSTHUIZEN: Louis Oosthuizen.
Got that?
So it has to rank as one of the strangest majors ever. Throw in the odd finish at Pebble Beach and my head is spinning after the Pebble-Old Course combo.
Your impressions of Louis, The Old Course and the week?
**Gene Wojciechowski didn't leave a lot of grey area in evaluating this one.
It wasn't boring. It was a par-5 beyond boring. It was so maddeningly dull that you wanted to stick the sharp end of barbecue tongs in your eyes.
If you think "The Decision" was awful, you should have been here for "The Oosthuizen." LeBron James' self-important TV nightmare lasted only 60-plus minutes. We were stuck with a whole Sunday afternoon -- and part of the night -- of South Africa's Louis Oosthuizen anesthetizing the Open Championship.
