The genius of Peter Alliss

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

I only spotted it, really, here.

The greatest golf shot ever played

Alliss, in commentating, points out the pitfalls likely to befall a bad shot; watches Tiger hit it, then mid-way through the shot announces "Now that could be ..." and LETS HIS WORDS HANG!

He could have finished that sentence with "a silly mistake", "A complete cock-up", but no, he's given himself the time and space to finish with "magical!", or whatever he eventually says.

Watch the clip, you'll see what I mean.

THAT is genius commentating.

The genius of Peter Alliss

Not quite convinced by the genius there, though he does have the sense just to shut up and let things take care of themselves

and i think it's only fair to bring up the time when Phil Mickelson won the Masters and Alliss didn't notice
