Jumped on Rose around 6pm @ 8-1; well pleased. Mickelson 2nd again was a banker @ 22-1 e/w. My others faded badly but feeling smug that I avoided the 'easy' bets of Woods and McIlroy. In profit again after calling Scott at the Masters recently.
......and my call of Ernie Els each way @ 80-1 was also a great shout coming in jt 4th. Kinda proves I don't just go for '8 of the 10 favourites and then say Told You So', eh Red Panda!!?? £10 e/w would have netted you a cool £210 return. Nice!
twas great televison ..thought Jstin handled himself very well on the back 9 and during interviews and presentation ..made us proud to be English .felt a tad sorry for Phil as he is a good sportsman and plays with good grace .We all speak about Rory but Justin has gone through an awful lot to build his character and he may suprise us by winning again and again now .I just love the the last 9 holes of a major ,nothing quite like it ..must admit a bit bleary eyed today ! well Done Justin !!
Really enjoyed that - very close to the end, unlike when Rory and Darren Clarke won their majors, which was great too, but not as exciting. Kept remembering Rose putting Mickelson in his place at the Ryder Cup - and he did it again!

Hopefully Rose winning will give added impetus to his fellow Brits, as Harrington's major wins seemed to do in Ireland/Northern Ireland.
Possibly Virginia Wade and Jacklin? I'll check.
What odds would you have got on that
330-1 sounds good wonder if anyone had it
