Bad day on the golf course yesterday - shot 96! Tee to green not bad (apart from affinity to bunkers!), but short putts were a disaster. #fb

Two hours of practice this morning concentrating on swing basics and rhythm, followed by 9 holes (2 pars, 7 bogies for 43).Need lessons! #fb

Actually shot higher than my handicap this week, though only 2 strokes higher, so at least it won’t go up! #fb
No prizes in golf competition this week! Shot an abysmal 95! Too many up and downs became 2 putts, too many 2 putts became 3 putts! #fb
What an anti-climax. A depressing end to a great week of golf #fb
Just wanted all those buggies to drive off with Tom Watson to the 17th and leave Cink standing alone, bewildered. Aren’t I terrible? #fb
If a Brit had been in the Open playoff the crowd would’ve been more enthusiastic. Now they’re just watching one Yank beat up an old man! #fb
You can see the look on the Open crowd faces: “Shame on you Cink for spoiling the party!” #fb
It doesn’t seem fair that this Open Championship is coming down purely to one guy being half the age of the other. Tom is looking tired #fb
Open Championship… Stuart Cink… blah blah blah….. meh! Shame… #fb
Great finish by Chris Wood. Shame for Fisher and Westwood. Can’t believe poor Tom faltered at the last. #fb
Who’d have thought golf could be so exciting? #fb

A Cink win would be such an anti-climax after four great days of golf. Tom is looking tired…. great shame #fb
Can’t believe Cink could spoil this. The 59 year old must be so fatigued now. Come on Tom! #fb
I used to think the BBC gave great sports coverage, but it is gone 11am and WHERE THE F*** IS THE LIVE GOLF?!!! Tossers. #fb
Go Tom! Just think, if he wins he’s exempt til he’s 69!
Dear Mrs Ross Fisher, Please keep your legs crossed ‘til Monday. Love from England. #fb
Whilst I am obviously rooting for the Brits (the few that are left in it!) would be just as happy to see Tom Watson win this one! Fab! #fb
