Something missing

As the open gets underway this week, anyone who even slightly follows Golf will be aware that there is something missing. You might have heard the name bandied about every now and then. Tiger Woods. The man who has won 14 major championships, 3 claret jugs and who won last months US Open with half his knee hanging off, ring any bells?

Despite what people may say, and as magnificent as the Open Championship will be- as of course it is every year – whoever takes home arguably the most coveted prize in Golf will always have the Californian’s absence hanging over them. Yes to win a major championship is a remarkable achievement- certainly more than I will ever achieve – yet this weeks victor will know, deep down, that they did not do it against the greatest golfer on the planet.
