Open Elderly has returned to SinfulNear London, this week, and the players have been brave about the Swan’s receiving club, which, among other lamps, Sean Connery and Hugh Grant are said to belong.
“Stunning” is how he described Miguel Angel Jiemenez’s old course, the old Sunningdale course, the Willie Park Jr. model. in which the opening is taking place. Added Ernie Els, “The grass is perfect. Everything is perfect.” Colin Montgomerie, who has a house in the area, said: “Just just a beautiful place to be”, adding, “All Americans love it here. They think it’s their – well, it’s ours valley in many ways. ”The pine valley, as in perennial The High Rangut Course in the SH.BA
Perhaps no player, however, was more effective in his praise than Padraig Harringtonwho said after his first round: “I have to say, every player, every caddy here, this is probably the best golf course we’ve set foot. You just can’t get better in this. If anyone would ever think of anything here, that’s as good as it is.”
By closing the game on Friday, Harrington was probably feeling equal Better for the country. That’s because he would follow his opening three-nine 67 with a 65 gas to capture the open lead from a blow to Thomas Bjorn and KJ Choi. His round seemed perfect on paper – five birds and 13 pars – but it was far from him. “I’ve had problems in many other holes,” he said after his round. “He hit some recovery shots and managed my game, but I never showed much confidence there at all in my swinging.”
It was not just Harrington’s shaking that was not cooperative. Golf gods also threw some curve balls into it in the form of what he later called “three crazy things”.
The first of them came in the par-4 7 when at some point during a shake an acorn broke away from a tree branch above and almost diligent Harrington below.
The second came to PAR-5 14, where he lost a short blow but not because of a bad reading. “An error immediately landed from my shoes as I hit my back, and (I was) completely confused,” Harrington said.
It turns out that bad things are not the only things that come in three – so do crazy things.
The third part of the strangeness Harrington came came to par-4 17. “It was actually a leaf, I don’t know what it was. It came in front of my ball, and (I) I almost headed it.”
Harrington summarized his round as a “strange day” but did not blame the wonders for every lost opportunity.
“They didn’t cost me,” he said.
Harrington has won the two open American seniors, and is now able to pretend to add an open old (British edition) to his cloak.
“The biggest golf courses suit me,” he said. “I am happy to see there is a little moisture in this course. It is starting to get up a little. If it gets a little shorter, that advantage will be removed from me. I seem to be scoring well, so maybe I will do it another way this time.”
