The British Open was a riot, wasn't it? You can't beat watching some of the world's finest finding their balls buried in shrubbery much like yours typically are.

There was more brilliance on display than blunders, the highlight of which being a sensational 17th-hole chip onto the green from Spain's Miguel Angel Jimenez, on Saturday.

Stymied up against a stone wall, he turned his back to the hole and hit his ball directly into the stone, which it bounced off, then looped high in the air and came down behind him -- directly onto the green. Despite a disappointing double-bogey, he was heartily cheered by the gallery behind the green as he walked to the 18th tee. He birdied the last hole to finish the day 3-under-par.

Miguel's 17th-hole heroics couldn't prevent him from finishing way down the pecking order, however, tied for 27th at 2-under. It was South African Louis Oosthuizen who took home the Claret Jug thanks to a storming 16-under-par 272 over the weekend at the storied St. Andrews course in Scotland.
