 fact that the play-off was between Marc Leishman, Zach Johnson and Louis Oosthuizen was more of a surprise.
Many of the big names such as Jordan Spieth, Padraig Harrington, Jason Day and Sergio challenged at one stage or another, but couldn't force their way into the play off.
By the time Zach Johnson was crowned Open Champion 2015, after a terrific performance on the last day, many of us could be forgiven for being a little snow bind. This was, seemingly, the Open that didn't want to end. It has ended, eventually!, and I personally can't wait for Troon 2016!!
I have to say that the biggest thrill of the week, was meeting one of my heroes Tom Watson. It was sad to think it was his last Open as a competitor but, at the same time, the incredible outpouring of emotion and appreciation that encapsulated Tom on his walk up the 18th on Saturday was testament to the wonderful career he enjoyed, and the stunning moments he gave us. It is a moment that will stay with me and inspire me forever.<end_of_turn>
