From today until Sunday.

Tom Watson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Watson_(golfer)), a 59-year old ex-champion is currently leading with a flawless 5-under-par. :thumb001: Age? What is that?? :D I wish he goes all the way. He is currently leading over Tiger Woods, who is still in his prime. It's encouraging. :)

Only if you want an imprint of my 1 iron on your forehead. :D

And yes, I have a 1 iron in my bag. It is fun to try and hit it off the deck. :eek:

World number one Tiger Woods missed the cut in the Open for the first time in his career (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/golf/8156901.stm)

When i tuned in to the game Tiger was -2 then the rain started to belt down...........that's when he was turned into an average club player instead of the world no1.

I'm really disappointed. 59-year old Watson three-putted on the 18th, which took the match to a play-off with Stewart Cink. Cink then clinched it. Damn ... it would have been so great if Watson could have pulled this off. He was so very close ... it would have been one of the greatest sporting upsets and achievements ever.
