Persnickety Old Course in Slumber Mode

As I’m writing this on the Sunday morning of the final day of the 2010 Open Championship I find myself curiously unexcited about the last day. So far it’s been a yawn-a-thon.

So far the most excitement for me was the utterly cool shot pulled off by Jimenez at the famous #17 road hole. See video below.

Louis Oosthuizen has led from the git-go. He is 4 shots up going into the last round with Paul Casey 4 shots back. 4 shots back is no big deal especially in the final round of a major championship. Hopefully there will be at least *some* drama.

The persnickety Old Course has been in slumber mode. Hardly no wind (except a brief spout of Friday) no rain – essentially benign. That was not the Open I was hoping for but, who knows, there is one more day of golf.

By the way, I love the swing of Oosthuizen. Man, talk about a tight, powerful, fluid swing. Anyone could become a better player by meditating on that swing. I posted a video in our right sidebar which has a number of slo-mo takes on his swing – really fun to watch.

Curious, what is YOUR take on the Open so far?
