Tevez turns caddie at Lytham

The weird world of Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez took another twist on Sunday as he caddied for fellow Argentinean Andres Romero. Tevez, who was seen asking for Rickie Fowler's autograph on Saturday (Fowler reportedly had no idea who he was), should probably stick to the football: Romero hit a 12-over 82.

Wat's he got on?
Bubba Watson showed himself to be the anti-John Daly, in that he wore exactly the same outfit for all four days: an all-black affair, hinting at real seriousness, with pink trim just to add a fruity twist. Maybe it's his lucky garb - but it has delivered something of a mixed bag (67-73-68).

Scott's Seve tribute
Speaking of clothes, Adam Scott opted to wear all navy blue in tribute to golfing legend Seve Ballesteros, who passed away in May 2011. Ballesteros, a five-time major winner, was renowned for decking himself out in the colour. Nice touch.

Ballesteros magic
The memory of Ballesteros was everywhere: Tiger Woods, at the sixth, was down on both knees trying to conjure some magic as he attempted to escape a bunker at the second attempt. He just about managed to get the ball out, but couldn't avoid a triple-bogey.

Rafael Cabrera-Bello
If you're going to implode, best do it in some style. Rafael Cabrera-Bello heeded that advice: first he triple-bogeyed the 15th, then did exactly the same two holes later. Surprisingly, he wasn't a picture of purest joy on the 18th tee.

Potat-oh no
We've seen "mashed potato" shouted plenty of times recently by fans after a tee shot - but at the first on Sunday, one innovator pushed the envelope by bellowing, "Roast potato!" Not one person giggled. If it's any consolation, we liked it.
