My money was on Tom Watson to win the 2009 British Open but at the last hole my investment was looking like it hit the rocks and was sinking fast.
Stewart Cink, the new Open champion took the lead after a four-hole play off after they tied on a two-under-par.
Cink was packing some serious heat on the green and I can't help to think that Stewart's winning putt was partially due to his new top secret Nike Prototype Putter.
From the images we have seen the putter features heel-toe weighting, high tech red grooves to reduce skipping and skids, and also looks like to a touch of carbon on the bumpers.
We also heard that the bottom of Cink's putter there is reference to "The Oven", Nike's club building and testing facility in Ft. Worth, Texas.
It sounds like this putter is just a sample but nothing has officially announced by Nike Golf yet and I would not be surprised if I saw this putter on the shelf sooner than later.
We also read on TheGolfSpace that Nike is attempting to confiscate all of the video footage of Tiger Woods to save him from future embarrassment since he played so poorly at Turnberry.

Maybe with this one they can finally get a Nike putter in Tiger's hands ...
