We all know about his mental issues and long suffering physical issues including the back surgery but could this have been one of sport’s greatest ever achievements? It will be discussed, possibly argued in many Clubhouses and just before last year’s tournament I said he would win another Major and he has done me proud! Congratulations Mr Woods with the support you have from the galleries, perhaps one day you could even become their President if you wanted too?

What of the Europeans? Molinari will be scarred after this opportunity, it was his to lose and like three other contenders they all got undone at one of the greatest Par 3 holes ever laid out, the dreaded 12th. Highly fancied Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood and Paul Casey never featured with two of them missing the cut. Ian Poulter played brilliantly until, like Molinari found the water at the 12th.

Rory? Well, I can only imagine he was so disappointed to finish so far off the pace. The Irishman with more talent than most, seemed to try too hard. He should watch a video of how Tiger controlled his emotions, and consider playing in that Zen state. He wants it just too badly, sometimes you just have to try less and not more to achieve your goals.
