Who is the man... who would caddie for his brother man?

Ah, the British Open. The tradition, the history, the undulating greens, the knee-high fescue. And of course, the celebrity-spotting. Roger Maltbie, Nick Faldo, some old haggis in a kilt, George Clooney... wait just a cotton-pickin minute here. Say what motherfucker?

Yes. Evidently George Clooney is a links jock-sniffer. He's been hanging around Hoylake all week getting tanked with Samuel L. Jackson. Which only proves the old adage - nothing says the British Open like Danny Ocean and Shaft drinking warm beer at the local till last orders.

In other news, Fred Couples and Phil Mickelson have been practising together (the cool guys) as have Davis Love and David Duval (the nerds). Ne'er the twain shall meet.
