Shame

Just watching replay on SKY now, the greens are soooo green....very well naturally watered!

"You only Singh when you're winning"?

(That gag worked better when Vijay was leading in the States too earlier)

I see Wozniacki managed to get knocked out of Wimbledon in time to follow Rory around today....

There was also nice going alongside Rors, but a couple of final round bogeys turned a top-5-finish to T10, which is also nice.
