Paddy Harry the Open Champ

Boy, what a british open.
Sure, our prediction sucked again as the horse we bet on bombed spectacularly (KJ scored 40 on the front and shot an 8 on the last!!), and none of the dark horse even had a shot at it–Ross Fisher also shot 8 on the last enroute to a 79, AK shot [...]

The British Open

Once again, we head to the final day of a major championship, one that has been slightly more interesting than expected.

Damai Laut GCC
