British had different feeling

Padraig Harrington's performance in the closing nine holes in the British Open at Royal Birkdale on Sunday was nothing less than spectacular.
 
In the final five holes, Harrington didn't miss a shot. He was flawless and his performance should be praised.
 
But, without Tiger Woods in the field, this year's Open didn't have the same feel. I'm not going to say there should be an asterisk next to Harrington's victory. I just believe that if you don't beat the best, the win doesn't carry the same magnitude as last year's victory with the world's No. 1 player competing.

I guess that means that Arnold and Jack's majors don't mean anything either? They never beat Tiger. Isn't part of being the best player being healthy enough to compete? It's hard to make putts on one leg.
