British Open’s runners-up consolations: history, wife at home

Both players were vanquished by winner Zach Johnson on Monday in a four-hole aggregate playoff at St. Andrews.

“Obviously, I’m pretty disappointed at the minute, having a chance to win it and not being able to take it, but that’s golf, unfortunately,’’ Leishman said. “There were three of us in the playoff and there could only be one winner.
“Yeah, I’m disappointed, but I’m happy with the way I played all week, played great Thursday, Friday in the wind and then played good the last two days in the better conditions. I’m happy. I’ve just finished second in the Open.’’

The tournament was Leishman’s to win, but the 31-year-old Aussie with one career PGA Tour win (the 2012 Travelers) suffered a damaging bogey on the 16th hole in regulation, when he missed a 5-foot par putt and relinquished the outright lead.
In the playoff, he bogeyed the first and second holes to fall too far behind.
Oosthuizen, who won the 2010 Open the last time it was played at St. Andrews, fought to get into the playoffs, making a huge par on 17 in regulation and then draining a clutch 6-foot birdie putt on 18.

In the playoff, he birdied No. 1, but lipped out an 8-foot par try on No. 17 and lipped out a 10-foot birdie try on 18 that could have extended the playoff.
“I made great putts coming in to be in the playoff, and misread 17 and 18 [in the playoff],’’ Oosthuizen said. “I had two good putts there exactly where I wanted to, so there’s not much more that I could have done on that.’’

“It’s never nice to lose a playoff. I’ve had the experience in 2012 at Augusta [when he lost to Bubba Watson.] I’ll take a lot out of this week. I was really motivated to win this championship this week. I love this place. I’ve said it a thousand times. I can’t wait for it to come back here again [in 2021].’’

Oosthuizen has now finished runner-up in the last two majors, having finished second to Jordan Spieth at the U.S. Open last month at Chambers Bay.

“I did really well at Chambers Bay coming from a 77 first round, and this week, [Monday], I felt I was sort of on the back foot the whole time,’’ he said. “It was tough to find birdies out there.’’

Leishman played this championship with a particular perspective having nearly lost his wife to a rare illness earlier this year.


“Yeah, I could have won it, but look, my perspective is quite good at the moment,’’ he said. “I can go home tomorrow and hug Audrey and the boys and celebrate a little bit, I guess. It would have been nice to have a Claret Jug to drink out of to celebrate, but I’ll find something else.’’

The History Of Radio Dates Back To Centuries Ago

The history of radio dates back to centuries ago and many people seem to be associated with it. Apart from James Clerk Maxwell there are many people who contributed to the idea of radio, some of the most famous are Michael Faraday, Friedrich Kohlrausch, Wilhelm Weber, and Heinrich Hertz. These were the people who contributed in one way or other for the development of radio.
Similarly, history of television also involves work of many scientists and engineers who work directly or indirectly for the invention and development of television. Just like history of radio, the history of television is also very vast and rich involving many people from many countries. So it would be wrong if we just mention the name of one person as many scientist, technicians, engineers work in their fields what we are seeing today as television.
Earlier television was mechanical as well as electronic gadget but later it became purely electronic item. So we can safely say that the foundation stone i.e. electromechanical principles were taken over by purely electronics as we are seeing it today. Actually, Maxwell was very impressed with electromagnetism related work of Michael Faraday. The main turning point in the development of radio started with the technical paper on Faraday's ideas on electromagnetism by Maxwell in 1855.
On the similar lines, the invention of television also involves work from several technicians, scientists and engineers who worked in different fields. Basically there are two different fields of technologies: early inventors tried to build a mechanical television on the basis of rotating disks technology by Paul Nipkow, whereas later electronic television was developed on the basis of cathode ray tube (CRT) in 1907 by English inventor Campbell and Russian scientist Boris.
We all know that over the period of time these were electronic television systems that replaced mechanical television technology due to obvious reasons, such as better performance, low heating and low power consumptions.
