Nope, but that putt was the beginning of him coming up to the top of the leader board. 

Congrats Ernie!

 

 

On to Tiger and how he looked in the Open: because its always about Tiger. 

 

He looks really sexy with the facial hair. drool.gif

Another thing I noticed with The Open is product placement.  How much does the product placement pay for the event?  

 

For instance - 

Adam Scott's wearing Oakley Flak Jacket Sunglasses.

Phil and I were just talking about a good lens in that particular pair of sunglasses that would be good for golf. 

Here is me with those same sunglasses.  Perhaps the right lens for golf will fix my game?

rolleyes.gifPffft, I've got two pair of Oakleys like thatcool.gifcool.gif..  One silver with gun metal/dark lenses and another brown/gold with amber lenses.  Of course the lenses are interchangable though.  FWIW, my golf game sucks!  But, ya.. you never see any good TV shots of stuff that isn't highly sponsored..

That dog won't hunt!

 

Technically, product placement is when companies pay media producers to use logoed products in their productions. Sponsored athletes are expected to make their sponsor's logos visible in the media (with no compensation going to the media producers). I suspect that most of them are on a fixed contract or else you'd see more "placement shots" like ski racers popping their skis off at the end of the race.
