I'm being very retrospective, I know, because I didn't get to watch it all, or the key players in the final rd until yesterday evening in a day mostly at home. But amazingly, by avoiding all media including switching off my phone notifications, and my wife taking no interest, I was actually able to relish the thrill of the victory with no prior knowledge. And, of course, I'd largely fallen for the pre-narrative that it was a win for Rory already; just a matter of how far and who came 2nd.Is that Sam Torrance who keeps coughing his guts out in the background all the time ? Ffs….
However, you reminded me that I wanted to say that I don't know about the coughing, but finally realised that was Sam T. What a voice; what commentary! Just loved his style; so droll and original but really knows his golf and the course. So different to the plastic Yank commentators, but he got sidelined late in the coverage at the busy end.
Go back and check out what he was saying about Cam Smith in early rounds - ST loved his game and his cool demeanor and talked him up big time! Virtually tipped him.
