Appearances
Let's start with TC then.
1977.
Jewel in the sun.
10 out of 10.
It is the best.
Shocked, if I'm honest, that TC went so conventional on Route 1, half expecting to be a contrarian and extol the virtues of champagne Tony Lima in 64 or Jack Black becoming the first man to break the 300 barrier.
at Sandwich in 1904, but there you go.
2006, Tiger at Hoylake, another great pick, surprised it lasted until 10th.
61, Arnie, magnificent, the start of the Open becoming global, thanks to Arnie.
And 2015, Zach Johnson, you did win me over with some of the arguments.
The Monday finish, the number of players in contention,
but a bit meh.
And I will say I would have lost money that of the five of you, the one who is an honorary adopted European would be the only one to have drafted four American champions of our major.
Onda Randi, a thread of tragedy and heartbreak running through these selections, which I think fits with the big man's general demeanor and world view.
1999.
Not sure I've drafted the second overall, but very memorable.
I did dock you points for butchering the pronunciation of Arno Massi, and even more inexplicably, also butchering the pronunciation of Paul Laurie.
1868, young Tom versus old Tom, magnificent choice.
Hats off for you being the only one to go for a 19th century open.
Without Tom Senior and Junior, there is no Jack or Tiger.
