Well to sum it all up, ""bloody marvellous"". Hearing the words ""Darren Clarke Open champion"" it has a nice ring to it don"t you think?
All my trading, backing and laying, backing again then laying off again for a wee profit was all done by the end of the third round. To be perfectly honest i did not want the distraction of betting come the 4th round. I was getting drawn in by the superb rounds of golf Clarkey was producing, the Irish were kicking butt again and my cold eye [as i call it] i knew it would be affected.
What a final round huh? the usual English summer weather just to make things extra tricky. The Mickleson charge which luckily for DC petered out after the 11th. Bjorn and Fowler looked threatening but there putting just did not ignite. Then the 14th and big booming Dustin hoiked one right out of bounds, wow that was the moment the Open was nicely wrapped up with a bow on it to tantalise DC. The big fella held it together superbly and got a great reception at the 18th.. Brilliant viewing and i was glad i could sit back and enjoy it, i see by the thread there was some punting going on, i hope you all did ok.
top degen behaviour - I"ll be rooting for you
Currently watching the wsop and JP has a few chips
good luck sir, it would be great to see another Brit make a final table. [and hopefully take it down]
enough of my waffle
