Simon Dyson was the winner at the Dunhill Links Championship, but Manuel de los Santos may have made the biggest impression at the pro-am event, which was played on St. Andrews, Kingsbarns and Carnoustie. De los Santos, 25, is a former baseball player who lost a leg in a car accident and picked up golf in 2004, after moving from his native Dominican Republic to France. He plays to a 3-handicap without the aid of a prosthesis.

God, I wish my grandmother had all her marbles still. She used to moan about my golfing stance no matter what I did. She'd blow a blood vessel watching this guy's swing.
I think the only thing I successfully hit with a golf club was when my grandmother walked behind me while I was practising.

None at all.

Hey, isn't there a Happy Gilmore joke in here somewhere?
