Golf History in the Making

Elspode · 07-19-2009, 12:55 AM

Tom Watson, at age 58, is clinging to a one shot lead at the British Open at Turnberry going into Sunday's final round. If he wins, he would be the oldest player to ever win a PGA Tournament event, let alone a major. Watson's battle with Jack Nicklaus at Turnberry in the late 70's is still a golf legend, and he won three British Opens in his heyday.

Now, I'm not the sort of guy who sits and just watches golf, but our hometown boy is poised to possibly make golf history tomorrow. If Watson wins it, it will in all likelihood be the biggest sports story of the year, if not the decade.

One of the things that makes sports enjoyable is when people do amazing things that the rest of us can only imagine. This may be one of those moments.
