Just been watching Tom Watson in the par 3 comp at the Masters. Awesome performance from a great sportsman. Nicklaus and Player also turned the clock back. Should be a great tournament this week.

It's just a fantastic spectacle.

I saw watson at turnbury 8 or 9 years ago. he was 59 then and nearly won our open ( the open ). anyway, I watched him warming up and he repeatedly layed both palms of his hands flat on the ground. far more difficult than just touching your toes. incredibly fit and agile professional.

That Turnberry performance was amazing. I was gutted when he bogeyed the last hole. Whenever I've been to The Open me and my son have followed Watson round and he's always been a model pro with respect for the sport. Makes prima donna cheating footballers look ridiculous.
