the Frenchman at The British Open yesterday. He had 3 rounds and 17 holes of incredible luck, but they were calling him the next Seve Ballesteros.

3 rounds and 17 holes plus two shots. I thought he would have won after the 18 tee shot landed on 17 fairway (the gold gods with him). Well it was incredible, and the Scotchman deserved the win by playing the 17 and 18 flawlessly in the playoff.

(...The bullish herd investors remind me of the Frenchman at The British Open yesterday. He had 3 rounds and 17 holes of incredible luck, but they were calling him the next Seve Ballesteros. Then, on the 18th hole, the luck turned with a vengeance and his game just didn't have that much in the way of skill to hold him together.)

With that course, it was dumb luck any time a golfer found the fairway and the rough was such that a good round was defined as reaching 18 and not requiring a search and rescue effort. -g-

Far more entertaining than a US tournament.
