They just can't get it right !

You would think with the wealth of information available that individuals who earn a living from reporting golf could get their facts right. Reading an article about the LPGA event that concluded Sunday it stated that " Swedes Liselotte Neumann and Catriona Matthew tied for second ". Mrs. Matthew was born and raised in North Berwick Scotland and most certainly is not a " Swede ". Likewise with the commentary during the final round of the Open at St Andrews this year when Monty was nipping at Tigers heels " in case you are wondering folks, the last Englishman to win the Open was Paul Lawrie at Carnoustie ". Neither Monty or Paul are " Englishmen " both were born and raised well north of the border ( unless Maggie Thatcher had Hadrian's wall moved up without anyone noticing !!! ).
