It was a very fortunate break for those who got it, especially those who had a lot of golf to play.
Basically, there are only a couple of slots where you had a chance to shoot a good two rounds.
You'd have to tee off super early and super late Thursday and Friday, or super late and super early Thursday and Friday.
Oosthuizen basically played a par 67 both days. He either played in windless conditions or soft and windless conditions.
Tiger got 18 holes of cake golf and 18 holes of very difficult golf.
Mickelson got 30 holes of very difficult golf and about 6 holes of very easy golf.
There's luck involved in every major, but far too much involved in the British. It devalues the championship at times, which sucks, because it's such a unique test of golf.
