Watson Makes It Look Elementary, At Least For A Day

Only the cynics among us wouldn't smile at the goings on at Turnberry this morning. 59 year old Tom Watson, shot a 65 on the historic course in Scotland. Great as that was, Watson still TRAILS "youngster" 45 year old Miguel Jimenez by a shot. Jimenez carded a 6 under 64!

Still, the story is Watson, 5 time winner of the Claret Jug. Today, he had his best round at the Open Championship in 15 years! Long time fans remember Watson's "Duel In The Sun" with Jack Nicklaus in 1977. Yesterday, Jack's wife Barbara sent Watson a text message wishing him well.

Wouldn't it be awesome if Watson and Tiger Woods were in the last pairing on Sunday? Eldrick is 6 shots off the pace, easily in striking distance for him. It might be tough for Watson to keep up the pace, but it was wonderful to see him go bogey free, and turn back the clock, at Turnberry.
