Twice as Nice: Ireland's Harrington repeats as Open Champion

Padraig Harrington needed 36 years to win his first major championship. It took only one to get No. 2. The Irishman tamed a brutal Royal Birkdale on Sunday with a steely 69 for a four-shot win over England's Ian Poulter to become the 16th repeat winner in Open Championship history.

D. Asking his caddy which club he hit.

Answer: B.

Decision 8-1/10 states that it is not a breach of Rule 8-1 for you to look into your opponent's golf bag to determine which club he used, but you cannot physically touch his equipment to determine that.

Golf Etiquette

On the green, remember:

Don't step on your fellow players putting lines -- the imaginary line that connects the ball to the hole.

If your ball is on a player's line, volunteer to mark the ball

If you're ball is not furthest from the cup:

Mark your ball, either with a plastic marker or a small, thin, dark coin such as an old penny.

After you have marked your ball, place your putter down at a 90-degree angle with the heel touching your marker.

Move the marker from the heel to the toe of your putter. Reverse the procedure to return the ball to its original position.

Do not stand where you might distract a fellow player and don't move.

Don't make any noise when your fellow player is preparing to putt.

If you don't have a caddie and are asked to tend the flagstick, make sure you aren't standing on anyone's line.

Hold the flagstick at arm's length so the flag doesn't flutter in the breeze, and make sure your shadow doesn't fall across the hole or line. Loosen the bottom of the flagstick so it doesn't stick when you try and remove it by pulling it straight up after the other player has putted. The flagstick should be removed right after the player has hit the ball.

If you lay down the flagstick, lay it off the green to prevent doing any damage to the green.

Generally, the player closest to the hole will tend the flagstick.

After everyone has putted out, immediately walk to the next tee.
