I watched every shot of the final group. This was one of the most gripping majors I've ever seen. Stricker's complete flatblade meltdown...Sergio under massive pressure early on then battled back gamely. Romero comes out of another galaxy to seize the lead for all of 10 minutes, only to experience the "Carnoutie mental illness" that seems to invade player's brains there (a la Van De Velde). His 2 iron selection was utter madness. Then Harrington makes the magnificent eagle to seize control. And his meltdown a la Van De Velde on the last....then Sergio's superb bunker shot only to see the putt slide agonizingly by.
As the years pass (and I know there are many here who disagree) I become more and more pleased in watching the Open Championship vs. The US Open.
One other thing: I want to see much more of Carnoustie in the rota. That course should be featured every five years IMHO. 15-18 are the hardest finishing holes in golf. No need to set the course up in some tricked up manner. The Burn - although narrow, is a heartbreaker....
