Hearty welcome for Hamilton
GRAPEVINE (Texas): Displaying the calm demeanour that helped him to a British Open championship, Todd Hamilton arrived home on Wednesday for a Texas-sized celebration. Hamilton, wearing a ``Royal Todd'' T-shirt and a relaxed grin, was greeted at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport by about 20 golfing buddies and a stampede of camera crews. He graciously responded to dozens of questions and even lifted the claret jug out of its large case for a few photos. ``I hope this won't go to my head,'' Hamilton said. ``I think these guys behind me won't let that happen.''
Hamilton said he was glad to be back after three weeks on the road. He attended a reception on Wednesday evening at his home country club in McKinney, north of Dallas. About 600 people were on hand. ``This is really overwhelming to me,'' said Hamilton, who sat at a table to sign autographs and have his picture taken with fans. ``I dreamt about something like this but I never thought it would happen.'' He signed scorecards, $100 bills, British Open photos and other memorabilia.
His victory is being celebrated as a story of hard work and triumph by the underdog. — AP
