Stewart Cink - Open Golf Champion 2009

What a stunning finale to the 138th Open Golf Championship! Imagine standing on the 18th tee of the final round needing a par to win the Open and then failing to quite manage it. A nightmare in golfing terms that befell Tom Watson this year. It's a fate that has overtaken many famous golfers and is part of the spectacle of this fantastic game. So, well done to Stewart Cink for winning the Claret Jug, but it was Tom Watson's Open!

Five Presidents for Lunch

Can you imagine it, five US Presidents around the same lunch table! I for one would want to be a fly on the wall of that room. (I wonder if anyone asked Bill, "How's Hillary?")

That's another reason that the phrase 'Only in America' is so apt; could you really see Gordon Brown, Tony Blair, John Major and Margaret Thatcher sitting down at the same table together with David Cameron (once he'd been elected as the next Prime Minister)? I'd like to think it could happen, but don't think it will.
