Open Championship - Round Four - 18.07.04        
An acceptable final round 68, my best of the week, but this week could have been so much better.  It wasn't so much as a chance lost because I wasn't up there.
From tee to green I was hitting it as well as I wanted to, but I had a cold putter all week and I wasn't chipping it close enough.   When I made my mistakes, I wasn't able to recover.  I watched on television and the guys who were leading were able to get up and down as they do every week.  I haven't been able to do that.
Momentum is all important in any tournament and probably more so in a Major and coming down 18 on Thursday I was in very good shape.   I made a mistake and never really regained what I had afterwards even though I played every bit as good on Friday if not better.
But it's always good to finish a tournament with a good round.   I've rolled some putts in at the end and I'm looking forward to playing on another great golf course.   Baltray is one I've played a lot and I can't wait to get there.
