This is the way to follow a British Open

For decades, Dan Jenkins has been to golf writing what Tiger Woods is to golf. Namely, the one to make sure you read.
In a stunning development, Jenkins began using online social media at last month's U.S. Open. He is the self-described "Golf's Ancient Twitterer."
Here are some of his Tweets this week from the British Open:
Greg Norman says everyone has been affected by the economy. Sure, he faced the tough choice of coming to Turnberry by jet, chopper or yacht.
Ryo Ishikawa, 17, volunteered that he tried haggis on his first trip to Scotland. "So very nice. Very nice taste." He's got so much to learn.
Just ran into Monty, who was taking an illegal drop on his way to the range.
Sir Laurence Olivier? Of course. Sir Nick Faldo? Are you kidding me?
Sandy Lyle says he's sorry for suggesting that Monty cheated years ago. Then he suggested that Monty cheated years ago.
After knee surgery, Tiger says it's nice to play with a leg that doesn't make noise. Wait until he's 79; his body'll play a lot of bad jazz.
Seen & heard at the Open: Woman picks herself up after tripping on the street. Concerned golf writer: "Can you tell us where Roxy's is?"
