Many many congratulations to Darren Clarke on winning the Open at Royal St.Georges.  Could not have been a more deserved or popular winner, personally I loved every minute of it!

We were lucky enough to visit the course on Friday and got burnt to a crisp, but that's another story!!  Managed to hit the range for a while, seeing pretty much everyone we wanted see, very impressive indeed.  Don't ask me if I saw Tom Watson's hole in one, having been on the 6th green for ages, I decided to walk down 7 about 2 minutes before Watson aced it, great timing ha!!!  Apart from Darren, I like a lot of poeple were suitably impressed with Rickie Fowler, one of the great Open rounds on Saturday in the very worst of the weather.  Can't believe this kid has not won an event yet?  I have a feeling when he does the flood gates will open and he won't stop winning.

Dr.Bob Rotella was seen talking to Darren just minutes before he went out for his last round, have a listen to the interview on the BBC, very interesting listening indeed.  Dr Rotella explains a little bit about what he terms as "unconscious putting".

Listen here for a brief interview by the BBC with Dr Bob Rotella, golf psychologist

It certainly did the trick, as Darren looked very relaxed and calm, both on and off the course.  He certainly delt with the ups and downs that come your way on a course like that, patience is always a vital factor in any round of golf.

Also congrats to Iain Carter and the team on Radio 5 Live,  fabulous coverage of the event as always, well worth a listen next time they cover an event!

So onto the USPGA and who would back against another victory for the Irish?
