Northern Ireland has captured its second consecutive major golf victory, but rather than Rory McIlroy picking up his second straight major, it was 42-year-old Darren Clarke who walked away as this year’s British Open champion.

Miguel Ángel Jiménez entered the second round of the British Open in second place, and before teeing off Friday he gave spectators a view of how he warms up before a round: with a bizarre calisthenics routine conducted whilst smoking a fat cigar.

The PGA needs to start building deeper ponds if it wants its golfers (and their families) to stop hurting themselves.

Rory McIlroy’s embrace with his father Gerry after winning the U.S. Open was a heartwarming moment…but we bet Gerry’s heart will be especially warmed if his son wins the Open Championship next month.

Tiger Woods, who finished a disappointing 18th place yesterday at the British Open, was heard dropping F bombs following a missed putt on the 13th hole.

No drama to this one: the final round of the 2010 Open Championship ended just how it started…with South Africa’s Louis Oosthuizen leading comfortably.

You never know what you’re getting from John Daly. You might get fantastic golf, you might get absurdity. But on some lucky days, you’ll get both. Today was one of those days.

Tiger’s prior history and uncanny ability to perform well under pressure work in his favor. Yet, since he’s returned to golf, he hasn’t proven he can win with such monstrous public opinion against him. Tiger’s problems aren’t curable with a tweak of his swing or his new putter. Golf’s a mental game.

With the British Open taking place at St. Andrews in Scotland this week, the English press has its sights set on Tiger Woods. This means that we get to look forward to a weeks worth of extremely British Tiger headlines. Cheeky!
