* Carnoustie's fairways are baked brown, but the greens are well watered and holding. This will be a thinking man's Open, Drives are rolling over 400 yards, so yardage books will be of little use, this week will be played along the ground, the way it was intended.
Much more on the Open and my memories going back to 1966, but now to the Monday morning shag bag.

*Brooke Henderson had a 1 shot lead heading into the final round and cruised through the first 14 holes of Sunday bogey free before running into trouble with bogey's on #15 and 16 dropping her to -13, and after she narrowly missed a birdie on 18 for -2 69 she missed the playoff in which Thidapa Suwannapura of Thailand beat American Brittany Lincicome to win the tournament after both finished 72 holes tied at 14-under 270.
*Brooke had this to say “It was sort of weird. I hated that tee shot on 15 the last couple days, but I tried my best. Sometimes, golf is weird. Sometimes, it just doesn’t go your way and that was kind of me the last four holes. The rest of the way I played really well, so I’m happy
*I was disappointed with my third. It really wasn’t what I was looking for, but I gave it a great putt, looked like it was going in the majority of the way, but it just kind of missed on the high side there. Like I said, I gave it a good effort and unfortunately, it just wasn’t my day today
*Brittany Marchand finished T32 -6 under. Alena Sharp T49 -3

* There isn't much out there for senior women, so I thought it was a good idea to get them all together for the first ever US Senior Women's Open which Dame Laura Davies won at Chicago Golf Club in Wheaton, Ill by 10 shots at -16.
*Lorie Kane finished with a +1 74 T23rd at +13.

*Little known Brandon Stone from South Africa missed a short putt for 59 on Sunday as he equalled the lowest round in European Tour history, -10 60, -20 total, to win Scottish Open on a defenseless Gullane links. The wind only got up on Saturday afternoon and the guys just took a very good course apart.
*Stone is in the Open this week with the win, and his only concern? “Hopefully I can find accommodation (for the Open)!”
