 Observer | Sandy Lyle becomes the first British winner of the Masters
Sandy Lyle did a great many favours for a great many people when he lowered his right elbow below the level of his left, a tip he had adopted after watching Jack Nicklaus's putting style (which proves that even the pros steal from the pros), and rolled home that double-breaking putt to win the Masters.
They have only one purpose in life, to prepare what is essentially a wide-open golf course into a test which will progressively sort out the halt and the lame and the lesser talented players and guarantee that the winner is the best player in the field, which means the best in the world, that week.
My advice to Lyle is to cultivate this habit of snatching off his visor as often as possible for the sake of higher public visibility.
