I think it's quite impressive that at the age of 53 he still has the drive and ability needed to put himself in a position to collapse on the last day of a major.

I forgot that it was on and only remembered in time to see 2 holes. sad

I couldn't believe he was leading yesterday, let alone going into the final day.

I tuned into the first round of the British Open just to have background noise as I worked. Ditto for the second round.

I actively watched to day to see how Norman was doing. It's a gripping story, and in the absence of Tiger, the TV execs have to be doing backflips to have this going on.

I would love to see Norman win this thing tomorrow. One of my first golf watching experiences was his final day collapse at the Masters. I'm rooting for him to take this.

Rough start for him today, but I hope he can get back on track and win. I'd love to see him take another major this late in his career.

Told ya tongue

Disappointing from him, but Harrington's approach shots were superb, especially his 2nd shot at the 17th. He used a 5 wood, and the commentators were saying he was wrong and it wouldn't work blah blah, and he hit's a peach of shot giving him an easy eagle putt.

A deserved champion.

And well done to the amateurs as well. Great performances there!

As much as I wanted to see Norman win, I guess that just would have been too good to be true. Harrington played well, especially the last 5 or 6 holes. Congrats on him, although I wish other Europeans could start winning majors again as well.

I always like it when a guy wins his second major. It's possible to maybe luck into one, but you have to be extremely good to win two. I've always liked Harrington, and I think it's great he won again. good_luck

^^ Im with you on this one. Paddy is a really good guy. He gave me a ball and signed it after a round of the Ryder Cup in '99. I was pulling for him all the way.

I like both Norman and Harrington, and so I wasn't disappointed. Hellacious winds, though.
