Ok time to shame me. I watched some of the final round, and VERY pleased that "an old guy" won it all - esp with his son on the bag etc etc.
That said, the network sure did its fair share of squeezing every bit of soft emotion and tag lines and closeups of the family etc etc. Perhaps because there was really never a competiton/close match. But over time I became a bit sour with all the soft talk and closeups of the Caddy/Golfer conversation and hugs and smiles and... Of course they KNEW they were the FOCUS, with the camera and mike 10' away at all times. And good for the officials to call "On the Clock" a few times to speed up the pre-shot talk and discussions. Of course the network desired some Primetime coverage of the post-match kisses/hugs/tears.
OK, I am a 'softie' most times - but I feel that CBS and Stewart's team went way overboard with the softstuff.
This all said, great tournament Stewart! And I feel that Nick Faldo is the BEST commentator on Golf - and I really like Dottie Pepper too.
