One-hit wonder Hamilton wins over the fans

IT wasn’t only the manner of his winning the Claret Jug that warmed people to Todd Hamilton on Sunday evening.

His golf coming down the stretch and in the play-off in the British Open Championship at Troon was so sound and solid that you had to believe his claims to feeling “calm the whole day.”

And when the job was done he performed with assurance and grace at the presentation ceremony and later in front of the global media.
