I really enjoyed watching Tom Watson play well at the British Open, having a 10 foot putt to win in on the last hole of regulation. Frank Deford tells a great story about it:
"So, on Sunday, as I watched on television, here came Watson down the final fairway at Turnberry . . . one up, exactly like back in '77. His tee-shot was straight. I couldn't tell how far away he was, but I remembered Alfie (Watson's caddie in 1977.) I knew Tom's adrenalin was pumpin' again. To myself, I thought: whatever club you'd normally use, go one less. He hit a beautiful shot, straight at the flag, but it was too strong and it went over the back of the green. He bogied and lost the lead and then the tournament."
