I don't know McDowell as well, but maybe so.<BR/><BR/>As for The Open Championship vs. British Open: If you read my coverage, I used both. Sorry if you find "British Open" offensive, but I'm a Yank, my friend, and on this side of the pond it's commonly referred to as the British Open. It's not meant to be disrespectful.The Armchair Golferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07086916747302169325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-24405374249913338562008-07-24T09:40:00.000-04:002008-07-24T09:40:00.000-04:00Tend to agree we haven't heard the last of David D...Tend to agree we haven't heard the last of David Duval. The man is such a legend, having been so high and plummetted so low, to keep on fighting is truly admirable.<BR/><BR/>Concerning some of the others taht you mentioned - namely McDowell and Choi - i really feel these guys have got a moajor in them.<BR/><BR/>Choi always seems to be there or there about in the big tournaments, and is often let down by a bad round, or a few bad shots.<BR/><BR/>McDowell is looking imperious on Tour, and i can see him winning a major in the next few years.<BR/><BR/>Oh and one more thing; it's THE OPEN GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP!!!! Not The British Open!!!!

I really thought he was going to earn a top 10. I agree, I don't think we've seen the last of him.

I'll bet the oddsmakers over there are factoring his good play from last weekend into their calculations.Tom Blogicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063435236501738291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-70178124358012955272008-07-22T11:23:00.000-04:002008-07-22T11:23:00.000-04:00Now if he could just carry that over to the majors...Now if he could just carry that over to the majors in the States.
