All Rock had to do to confirm his victory in the British Open Golf Championship was complete a ceremonial process in which he was required to bounce a golf ball off a row of piano keys and into a cup. He had won the actual tournament the day before, but darkness caused a delay in the apparently essential awards presentations.
Rock had stayed up late to write a story about the tournament for the paper. As he worked to finish it, someone tried to show him how to bounce a golf ball off of a piano keyboard, and suddenly, it all began to seem unreal to him. After all, the quality of his game was far, far removed from that of anyone who would even so much as dream of winning an Open Championship. Furthermore, there was the matter of the piano keys. He couldn't figure out how to include it in his story.
