"TANK FOCK FOR TAT!!!" - Harrington after 4 hole play-off (Carnoustie 2007)
Got your breath back yet?
After what has been a boring 6 months golf, I think it is fair to say that Carnoustie has just provided us with THE best Open for 30 years.

Ok, so the weather was "mixed" to say the least (although was it devine intervention that led to blue skies and sunshine for the 4 hole play-off?).
The course has been praised by all quarters - not the same severity as 1999 but still an awesome test of links golf.
The rough was manageable, the greens were receptive and the fairways teased.
We stood on Thursday as the tournament teed off and were once again awestruck by just how well these guys strike the ball.
We could go on about how much we enjoyed the event, how it is without doubt THE best sporting event on the planet and of course, how Ivor Robson MUST be honoured in the next Queens list... but instead, let us focus on 1 thing...... Can Sergio bounce back?
To see 2 Europeans fight it out was a joy to behold after "8 years of hurt" and to be honest, we would have been delighted to see Padraig or Sergio lift the Claret Jug.
Everyone talked after day 3 about how the only way Sergio would not lift it was by choking.
We disagreed with this venomously and were proved right.
A 3 shot lead is nowt with 18 holes to go - you make bogey, your opponent makes birdie and hey presto, you are back to 1 shot and the old "back wheel" is starting to get a wee bitty twitchy.
Sergio played well on Day 4 - his putter did not work quite as well as Thursday, friday, Saturday but his ball striking was solid.
One shot sums this up - he's 2 shots back going up 18 in the play-off, Padraig lays up and he knocks in a fantastic long iron to 20 feet!!!
Under the circumstances, shot of the tournament.
So can Sergio bounce back?
He's gutted, make no mistake about that.
He's becoming "The best player never to win a Major" and he doesn't like it... just ask Mickelson how relieved he was to pick up his 1st green blazer!
The Spaniard will learn from this.
He'll learn that it takes a completely different metal to win a Major (if he had won after leading from Thursday, it would have been an awesome achievement).
He's going to bounce back and we think the USPGA could be the time to prove he has the bottle and as we know, he certainly has the ability.
Padraig.... congratulations on what was a truly memorable victory.
Sergio..... Your time will come...
