I expect good conduct from public figures. Full stop. End of.

I would certainly prefer that.

To paraphrase Spiderman - with great fame comes great responsibility.

Aye, I really wish the likes of George Best and Keith Richards had been nice, sensible boys.

Bit harsh but sadly prophetic.... To be fair, not sure so much chocked more he just didn't press his advantage. Ho hum maybe next time.

Also WTF was going on the Tiger off the tee; hooks, slices, fat and thin, a calamatous montage of amateur mistakes ....

I am not a huge fan of Mikelson but got to admit FIGJAM did play some good golf. The chip at 12 was class and the shot off the pine needles at 13 was just amazing ..... After the year he has had it is hard to begrudge him the win....

........ yes - and his special guests at the event were the doctors and nurses who have been caring for his wife and his mum - nice touch.

Ah yes, but..............

With a more 'conventional' private life, might they have been even better than they were (or 'are', in KR's case)?

I don't know. They were/are both at the very pinnacle of achievement in their respective fields with little room for improvement. Surely their exploits are part of their very essence and indeed what make people like this more interesting to the masses . If every celeb was a goody-two-shoes, the papers and magazines would be extremely dull.

You had to be somewhat impressed with Tiger after going from 8 under to 5 under and then getting back to 11 under even with a missed tap-in......but we was garbage off the tee.

Westwood - he was always either going to play steady or poorly....couldn't see him lighting it up the way tiger / phil can.

I knew the English guys would fade under the emmense pressure..

I heard Tigers wife has finally decided to dump him after finding out he was visiting a 22 year old nieghbor girl..That was the last straw. Why can't wives understand that it's just sex..Tiger did'nt care for those other women. There's a difference between sex and love.

Sure is. Love makes the world go round, sex makes it go up and down.
