I just love watching the BBC's coverage of the Open from the glorious Turnbery.

Peter Alliss and Co. do more for Scottesh tourism in four days than all of the Scottish Tourist Boards manage in a year.

Very nice touch from young Manasser, applauding Watson on to the 18th.

The great man has done brilliantly for the first two days and I only hope that it doesn't all fall apart for him over the next two.

A very, very sad end. I don't think Tom Watson deserve that.

Totally falling apart in the four hole play-off Ken, after only needing a four at the last in regulation play and taking a five.
