What a finish to the 2007 British Open! Padraig Harrington’s first major championship proved he has the mental game to win many more. After making double on the 72nd hole, the round-killer for many at Car-nasty, he toughened up in the clubhouse to fire a birdie on hole one of the playoff. A four-hole playoff loss for Sergio Garcia, who just needed a par on the 72nd hole to clinch the Championship, proved once again that he could use some mental help.
Maybe Sergio should have asked Angel Cabrera for a Marlboro before he teed it up on one in the playoff. You could see he was mentally exhausted. I think we are all just glad Garcia didn’t wear his Sunday banana suit. He probably should have also left his (Irish) green jersey at home too.
Three cheers to the Irishman for being the first European to win the Open Championship since 1999. We at ChiliDip.com raise our pints in your honor. Guinness, the drink of champions!
