Betting on everything is stacked in their favour, it's kind of the point!

I have twenty quid on the middle-class white guy, I 'll get it back in the morning.

There's more than one black lad? I thought Woods was the token because he was good. You would think Augusta would have brought in a quota system!

Longest gap between golf major wins :

  • Henry Cotton waited 11 years between wins in the 1937 and 1948 British Open Championship.
  • Julius Boros waited 11 years between winning the 1952 US Open and 1963 US Open, before becoming golf's oldest major winner at the 1968 PGA Championship.
  • Hale Irwin waited 11 years between winning his second US Open in 1979 and his final US Open in 1990 at Medinah.
  • Ben Crenshaw won two majors, 11 years apart, at the 1984 Masters and 1995 Masters.

Should have put a bet on him.

Rory has won 15, 4 Majors.
