It wasn't like you had to be a genius to lay up on 18 after the Havret missed his birdie putt. Actually I thought Havret had the steadiest game of all of the leaders; he just didn't win because he started back too far from the lead. But no meltdown from McDowell on any hole, and he deserved to win. It was unbelievable how EVERY downhill putt slipped by long, and EVERY uphill putt was left short. I guess all these greens are on a huge tilt, one direction or another. Are there other courses where the greens have this severe of slopes? ------� : the next generation of web-newsreaders : http://www.recgroups.com

Els almost did, but McDowell did what he needed to do, steady and safe. -- "In no part of the constitution is more wisdom to be found, than in the clause which confides the question of war or peace to the legislature, and not to the executive department." - James Madison

I was rooting for the Irishman over the Frenchman. His victory interview was heeelarious. Of course, had he been a stuff shirt like another Brit I know, different story. -Greg
