Sorry guys, but I've been waiting two years to post this!!
Great contest this year though! So exciting when it goes down to the last pairing like that, particularly after Molinari looked so set to take a point. |

Historically EVERYONE drove on the left side, but then the revolutionary Americans switched to be different to the Brits, and then Napoleon marched across Europe and changed the side they drove on so now it's only countries untouched by napoleon and former British territories that drive on the left: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Australia, New Zealand, lots of Pacific island nations...and Japan. Latin American countries used the same side as their Imperial rulers, Sweden changed overnight in 1974 (I think) from the right to the left. Samoa recently switched the other way because of the availability of right-hand-drive cars from Australia and NZ.
But of course as an American you assume the way you do it to be right  |

Euro's, while technically real, aren't what I was raised with, and therefore are wrong.  |

Euros do look like play money, but not as much as Australian money which is plastic coated! Yuk! |

But come on... if it had been 14 all, meaning the USA retained the cup, you wouldn't be moaning about points difference then! |

Some fantastic putts at the end. Great finish.
I loved the overhead shot of the crowd surrounding MacDowell after the win was conceded, and pulling up to height, showing the huge gallery surrounding the green.
Fantastic stuff.

It reduces counterfeit notes because it's bloody hard to get ink to stick to polymer without being easily smudged. It also means that you can have a $50 note go through the wash and not get damaged.
Aussie money = win
