Not just one spectacular tournament, but a serious of recent successes.

That’s something to be proud of. 158 years!

Wow

To have your name mingled with the greats of your sport, is very rewarding.

I didn’t watch it but of the 14 local channels I get, I think 4 of them were carrying the tournament.

Scanning channels, one could not help but catch some of it. I thought for a while it must be the “Tiger Woolds Show”.

DVR'd. I am about an hour and a half behind. Spieth, Woods, McIlroy. Carnoustie. Six tied for the lead.

And it comes out Molinari. Nice afternoon of golf.

You're a very literal human being. That's a good thing.

The title is somewhat misleading. Go look it up if you wish to know.

I'll look it up soon when I have time, but for now, I'm thinking this good old boy, Molinaro, is the FIRST Italian to win it.

Yes

"Molinari was a worthy winner who arrived at Carnoustie with two victories and two seconds in his past five starts this season."

Me too.

I've been watching him lately. He is quite stable, steady, decent, and a very consistent, even-tempered man.

It was a beautiful victory for him and golf.

Willie Park Sr. ---- he was the first winner in 1860

So 158 years ago this guy won the first British Open. I must conclude that Molinaro is the first Italian to win The British Open (ever).

Cool!
