Payne Stewart (sadly no longer with us) was the last Open winner when it was held at Pinehurst in 1999 and when he'd finally won he made this triumphant pose, now immortalised in bronze behind the 18th green. I thought I made a reasonable attempt to copy it in front of the Carolina Hotel, where I had also managed triumphantly to drink all three varieties of "Open Cocktails" in the Ryder Cup bar - and no, I didn't fall over.
Of course the football (soccer) World Cup also starts on Thursday (which bright spark planned that?) so my photo should have the caption "Go England!". (My apologies to all non sports fans who would have found all this really boring. Better luck next week!)
