You da man, Tommy. I was a bit irritated with Tiger slamming his clubs into the ground on Friday, but you, Tom, you made me forget all that. You made me remember why we play golf - because it's fun. And when the stars line up, there is hardly a better feeling.

You played with heart and class, and that was fun to watch.
