Tom Watson winning, at nearly 60, would have been one of the greatest stories in the history of golf. Such a shame. It made it even worse that Stewart Cink (who, let's be honest, is pretty dull) went on to win it.
I don’t think I ever pulled for a golfer to win any harder than I did for Tom Watson at the age of 59. Would’ve been the greatest feat in golf history.
Absolutely, and it really makes it incredible how he stopped winning Majors at age 34. That would have been over a 25 year absence from Major to Major. Not to be. Which really makes Tiger's and Jacks's last Masters win so special.
Adam Scott's loss was just brutal... Tom Watson's loss was the saddest moment of my adult golf viewing experience... I SO wanted him to win... too bad Cink never won another one, as he's forever saddled with "the one that Tom almost won"
agree on Watson, the most comical or one you just have to laugh at was Van De Velde (painful) and his fist pump on his saved triple to make the playoff, I want to say - man you you just lost this open, it was written he would not win in the playoff at that very moment. I agree on Watson and I felt more disappointed than most events I have watched, really wanted to have him add that to his legacy
I went to bed thinking he was home. Couldn’t believe it when I heard what happened. Hit the 5iron off the tee then 5 again onto the green! What was his caddy thinking? All the money they blew too!!!
Except Jean van de velde. Like I was in a match play tournament and I was 3 up on 16. The guy I’m up against hit it OB left so I just hit a 6 iron off the tee and won. It’s so basic lol
Watson’s was certainly heartbreaking, but still, the focus was on what he did over those four days after being out of golfing minds for 15 years… put another way, Watson did not choke it away. Certainly not.
Sanders' 2nd putt on the 72nd hole was excruciating. Didn't reset his routine after wiping away the impediment on his line, just stood straight back over the ball then froze there for 13 seconds. Then made the squirmiest stroke imaginable and looked like he tried to rake it back to himself the moment it left the face. Sports psychologists would have an absolute field day analysing that putt.
if Adam Scott could putt he would have had double digit majors by now ! even on the last hole which in the clip he hits into the bunker the story behind that shot needs to be known.But wins the best dressed guy on the golf course every time. Looks like he is moving away from Titleist now ....he was sporting lethal driver
Not a heartbreak but had a tear in my eye when Darren Clarke won cos it was a victory for hard work and determination i think grady choked more than norman
