...story is really quite simple: A poor but honorable lad named Charles Ryder (played in the new movie by Matthew Goode) goes up to Oxford where he meets Sebastian Marchmain (Ben Whishaw) when the latter leans in his window and throws up on his floor. Soon enough they're dining on plover's eggs and mooning over one another.

Sports psychologist Bob Rotella - who reportedly stayed in Harrington's house this whole week of the Open - says the key to golf is to enjoy...
