British Open champion Stewart Cink joined the show to discuss his victory over Tom Watson in a playoff at the British Open.

-- Dan asked Cink about some of the negative attention he's gotten for beating Watson.

"I'm a huge sports fan and I understand the story Tom Watson was writing there," Cink said.

Cink, however, didn't take any criticism personally.

"I don't think people really rooted against me," Cink said. "But I know a lot of people wanted Watson to win."

Cink said that a Watson victory would have been perhaps the greatest golf story of our generation.

-- Cink said that it was funny putting the Claret Jug through X-Rays at the airport. It made for a funny image on the screen. He plans to rotate it around different places in his house and he'll put some photos of it on Twitter.
