I think I saw this same guy on tv today on some sports update on the British Open. I don’t go golfing but when he says “I figured out the golf swing … I believe him, especially when he’s on of the sports news world at age 59. Indeed, he done figured it out.

He putted on 17 and it worked out. I think it was a good play to putt. He sadly just hit a poor par putt.

Thanks for the memories Tom. I hope it isn’t the last time we see you in contention.

Tell us about choking after you have won your fifth Open, okay? That label is really more correctly applied to those who can’t break through for their first win, or first major.

In Watson’s interview following the tournament, he said that he did consider the nine. I noticed that there are many random mounds and plain inconsistencies on the greens they were playing… it looked like that shot could have wound up much closer with a slightly different landing spot. I am not contradicting what you say, but this caddy having the guts to tell Tom Watson what club to hit in order to win a British Open would be like telling Ben Hogan to go with the 3 iron in 1950.

Yeah, you’re probably right. But something inside of me was telling me that he shouldn’t have putted that time…

Such a shame, a true gentleman of the sport. It’s been a long time since he has been in such a position, and considering his putting woes throught he end of his career, he held himself together much better than any of us could have.

Even the great ones get the yips. The pressure of hitting that putt and the history it would have made was too much. He simply deccelerated at impact thus the poor putt. Clearly a result of nerves. I wish he would have made it.
