The Wrong Irishman
The fairy tale has slowly unwound. Local boy, Darren Clarke, who led the field off on Thursday in the 148th Open Championship, took seven at the last to miss the cut. Rory McIlroy, who famously shot 61 around Royal Portrush at the age of 16, shot 65, equalling best score of the day, but agonisingly missed the cut by one. And our man, Gmac, held firm just making it through on the cut line, nine back from the leader.

The US Open was the one he really wanted and to get it he was going to have to beat arguably the best ever golfer, Jack Nicklaus.

Tiger Woods is a lucky golfer!
I’m probably going to get shot down in flames for this one, but I am going to put it out there, Mr Woods is a lucky golfer.
