Quote of the day
"I remember watching [Oosthuizen] hit balls on the range there, and he’s very impressive. He flights the ball very well when it gets windy. I can see why he’s doing well this week. Has good penetration on his iron shots, and obviously got a lot of bottle." -- Golfer Lee WestwoodDaily Blurb
I’m back at RotoGuru World Headquarters today, but don’t get used to it, as I’ll be gone again on Wednesday. I’ve got two days to take care of some business.
Two GuruGolf contests were completed while I was in Ohio:
British Open prize winners:
SANFORDORS2 (best ball, -46)
louky 4 (worst ball, +51)
Interestingly, only one GuruGolf team had Louis Oosthuizen, but that team still finished six strokes behind in best ball. Meanwhile, 51 GuruGolf teams started the tournament with 4 active golfers yet failed to post a four-round team score better than Oosthuizen’s -16.
By the way, in today’s quote, the British use the word bottle to describe the combination of nerve, unflappability and resolve needed to win at any endeavor.
"Open Faced Sandwich contest" prize winners:
shankopotomus7 (best ball – 6 stroke margin of victory)
Battlefield Rex (worst ball – 4 stroke margin of victory)
This contest covered the three weeks in between the U.S. and British Opens.
