Despite not being the crowd favourite, he still won today!

And even though I'm not the biggest golf fan that's ever lived, as a fellow South African I'm really proud of Retief Goosen tonight, or, as the American announcers referred to him throughout the tournament, the "unflappable goose."

I find that nickname quite charming but also very humourous, since his Afrikaans surname is really not pronounced like that at all. It is rather difficult for English-speakers to say "Goosen" correctly, though, so I like that he has become known as The Goose around these parts.

But anyway, he has proven that he can still play golf, no matter what anyone decides to call him.
