To say that Ben Curtis winning the British Open was an upset is like saying Michael Jordan was a good player. It is an understatement to say the least. This guy, who was playing on the Hooters tour last year and had never finished in the top ten, backed into a US Open Championship and his life will now change forever. Over a million bucks in winnings, publicity, no more qualifying, etc....... Just look at the circumstances that led to this amazing victory...Tiger Woods lost a ball on the very first hold, thus costing him a two-shot penalty. Only a couple minutes after he hit another ball, his original ball was found but it was too late. Tiger lost by 2 strokes. Everyone know Thomas Bjorn collapsed on 16 in the final round by double bogeying the hole when he took three shots to finally get the ball out of the sand, but did you know on Thursday he took an eight on one of the last holes because he got so mad that he failed to get a ball out of the sand he hit his club into the sand trap ( a two stroke penalty)? He would up with an 8 on the hole and he lost the tourney by one stroke. Needless to say it takes a lot of luck to win a tournament like this, but you have to hand it to the guy. He did shoot under par the last day and held it together better than anyone else.
