Among the leaders after the first round of the 2009 British Open is (no not Tiger) Mr. Tom Watson.
For those of you under the age of 30, he is perhaps one of the purest iron players to play the game and is a five-time British Open Champion, winning his second Open in 1977 at Turnberry, where the Open is being played today.
Here is a clip from that win 32 years earlier against Jack Nicklaus ('The Duel Under the Sun'). Check out Jack's up and down for birdie on 18 and then Tom's gut-check 3 foot birdie to win!
One of the reasons I love golf is that you can play it for a long time and as long as you don't get too upset at yourself, it can be very therapeutic. Especially for us Minnesotans who endure 9- months of the year inside to avoid frostbite...
