Louis Oosthuizen Wins the British Open

Things we saw/learned this weekend at the British Open:

Louis Oosthuizen wins (and his nickname is Shrek). John Daly is a bad-ass American. Tiger Woods drops some F-bombs. Miguel Angel Jimenez hits the shot of the year. Rick Reilly looks like a dingleberry and acts like a Rick. And finally - when you gotta go, you gotta go.

Shrek (Louis Oosthuizen) won the 2010 British Open by 7 shots. The South African turned a potentially close final 9 holes into a bore-tore by draining a wild 50-foot eagle putt on the 9th hole. I still don't know how to pronounce his name by I have to give King Louie props for such a dominating performance this weekend.

John Daly's pants/outfits have been well-documented (here and here) the past few days and he did not disappoint on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday he showed up wearing these...

If those aren't enough, his girlfriend showed up in this matching skirt...

Today, during the final round of the BRITISH Open, he decided to show how American he really is (as if the chain smoking and gambling wasn't enough). Where the hell can I get a pair of these.

Just for good measure his girlfriend decided to match the big guy again today...


Tiger was back to his old ways, dropping F-bombs after missing a putt, and I loved it. This is the Tiger I want to see - livid whenever he misses a short putt or makes a bad shot. I don't want to see him trying to act like something he's not. This video is from the 3rd round (Saturday) on the 13th hole. He misses a short putt and drops a few F-bombs as he walks off the green.

Yesterday, on the 17th hole, Miguel Angel Jimenez hit the shot of the year. His 3rd shot landed so close to the wall that he couldn't get his club behind it to take a regular swing. He decided to bank it off the wall and miraculously it landed on the green. Who cares that he eventually double-bogeyed the hole. Ridiculous shot.

How is Rick Reilly famous? He is a no-talent-ass-clown and for some reason ESPN had him doing 1-2 minute clips during the British Open. He showed up in a white suit - like that kid trying to be cool at the Prom.

Marcel Siem had to take a Ken Whisenhunt (sound it out if you don't get it, Ricky) on Friday during the wind delay. Thank you cameraman for following him and providing us with this video of Siem making water at the Old Course.

Windy British Open 2nd Round

Windy with a Chance of Meatballs. Gone with the Wind. Wind-ows 7. Alright that's enough - you get the point. After players treated St. Andrews like it was a Par 3 course yesterday Mother Nature decided to take over today. The players that teed off in the morning had to deal with rain but the players in the afternoon had to deal with wind so powerful it nearly blew John Daly over. Bazinga! Speaking of John Daly, he wore another ridiculous awesome outfit on Friday. So did he just buy the entire fabric department of Wal-Mart or what?


Play was stopped in the afternoon because the winds were ridiculous - players hats were flying off, stopped balls would roll around the green and John Daly's cigarettes wouldn't light. Louis Oosterhausen (nicknamed "Shrek" by his friends) shot a 5-under 67 and sits at 12-under, leading 2nd place Mark Calcavecchia by 5 strokes. Tiger shot a 73 and is tied for 15th at 4-under while Phil Mickelson barely squeaked under the cut-line (+1) with even par for the round. For the full leaderboard click here. This sign was posted when play was suspended for a few hours.


Does "LOL" mean something else Scotland or does the "sign-man" have a sick sense of humor?

Rory McIlroy is Getting Laid at the British Open Tonight

McIlroy shot a record -9 under 63 today at the British Open at St. Andrews. His 63 tied the record for lowest round at a major and he became the first person to do it since Tiger in 2007. My money is on the 21-year-old from Northern Ireland taking home a cougar tonight. He shouldn't have much competition in the cock-blocking department because John Daly will probably hire hookers for the night and Tiger likely has more STDs than the hookers. Not to take anything away from Rory but the course was playing extremely easy today. John Daly tied his best score at the British Open with a 66 and Tiger rebounded from his 46th place finish 2 weeks ago at the AT&T National to shoot a 67.

John Daly followed up his great wardrobe choice from yesterday with this awesome getup. Where the hell do you buy pants like that? They honestly look like he went to the fabric department at Wal-Mart and had one of the Asians sew it into a size 50 pant pattern. I wish I had the balls to wear something like that out in public.

John Daly is Still the Man

The British Open, played at St. Andrews - one of the most famous and classiest golf courses in the world - is this weekend and golfers have been talking to reporters all week. Tiger has been getting grilled on his personal life but the top story goes to John Daly. Tons of high-profile past British Open champions came together for a dinner. They all dressed in fancy suits and John Daly, surprising no one, decided to show up looking like a parrot.


Why is John Daly so awesome? ...Guess he was just born that way.
