"To try to win a tournament on that hole, there's just trouble everywhere you look at it." - Padraig Harrington

Best Ball 32

It's about time we fans had another major with a finish like this (minus the ridiculous VDV montage). I thought I was going to be mad at Sergio if he lost, but given the way it played out and with as deserving a champion as Padraig Harrington, the 2007 Open just about made up for the less-than-optimal Masters and U.S. Open this year. I loved it.

And here's what the champion thinks of Carnoustie's 18th:
