Graeme McDowell from Northern Ireland became the unexpected winner of golf's US Open held at Pebble Beach this weekend. He beat out golf's heavy weights of Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, and Ernie Els.
What a fitting tribute that a Northern Ireland golfer should win the Open this weekend since the British Prime Minister offered an official apology last week for the brutality of British troops in the killing of thirteen Northern Ireland civil rights demonstrators on January 30, 1972 in Derry, Northern Ireland.
Deep wounds caused by the violent events of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" back in 1972 are finally receiving much needed healing. May peace prevail throughout our troubled world.

And for the record, Graeme and I aren't related. But congratulations to him, anyway!
