Once again in the British Open, sombody that no1 has ever heard of comes out of nowhere and wins the major. This time American Todd Hamilton defeated Ernie Els in a 4 hole playoof to win The Open.
Whydo darkhorses always seem to win the British Open?

Didn't mind seeing him do it. They aren't always "dark horses", really. The last 10 champions:

2004 — Todd Hamilton, Royal Troon, Scotland
2003 — Ben Curtis, Royal St. George's, England
2002 — Ernie Els, Muirfield, Scotland
2001 — David Duval, Royal Lytham, England
2000 — Tiger Woods, St. Andrews, Scotland
1999 — Paul Lawrie, Carnoustie, Scotland
1998 — Mark O'Meara, Royal Birkdale, England
1997 — Justin Leonard, Royal Troon, Scotland
1996 — Tom Lehman, Royal Lytham, England
1995 — John Daly, St. Andrews, Scotland

Els, Duval, Woods, O'Meara, Leonard, Lehman and Daly all accomplished quite a bit more.
