It might take some time to truly appreciate what went on at the 2008 Open Championship.

With the top golfer in existence not around to fist pump, it was going to take some heavy story lines to keep people interesting. Little did we know an Irishman, an Australian and a dude in pink pants would make this major better than expected.

Here are the winners and losers from British Open week.

The John Daly saga has gone from sad, to funny and now back to just downright depressing.

Winner of the 1995 Open Championship, Daly might finally consider this rock bottom for his golfing career, as he posted a 19-over 89 today to finish in dead last at 29-over par.

Big John didn't make a birdie the entire week, and only carded six pars today as he struggled with a hand injury that has been bothering him all year.

Obviously out of the tournament, Daly's downfall came at the par-4 13th where he carded a quintuple-bogey 9. Mix that with three double-bogeys and you'll get near that 90 mark.

Never a man to enter anything quietly, Daly started his week calling out Butch Harmon. I'm pretty sure at this point, he'll be getting out of dodge and back to Arkansas as quick as those airplanes will fly.

Jason Sobel, doing an always great job over at ESPN, pointed out both Sergio Garcia's 89 at Carnoustie in 1999 and Ian Baker-Finch's 92 in the 1997 Open at Troon, but one was a young player struggling in the winds and the other was a great golfer that completely lost his game.
