The Open Championship

[tlongII]

For me this is the biggest sports story that I can ever remember. Tom Watson is leading after the 3rd round at Turnberry. The venue that he won the the Duel in the Sun 32 years earlier. I don't expect you youngun's to understand, but this is special.

Watson has the lead at -3 through 17 holes. I hope he wins , that would be awesome at his age to play this consistently for 72 holes

[ace3g]

Watson has an easy chip and putt to win it, he is up 1, all he needs to do is par

[ace3g]

he decided to putt out of the rough and left him with a longer putt then he probably should have, but it is probably 6 to 8 ft to win

he missed it , noo!!!!!

time for a 4 hole playoff

[ace3g]

you can tell that missed putt and this extended play in the playoff was the killer for Watson

Great jinx thread Tlong , you're slowly but surely turning into a 1st tier jinx men: the Oden thread, all the Blazers ones and now this, keep up the good work.

I never cared for Watson b/c the only time he ever seemed to win the big ones was when he beat Jack Nicklaus. I was pulling him for him this time, tho.

So am I happy or sad??

Lee Trevino was also the Nicklaus killer. Of Trevino's 6 Majors, Nicklaus placed 2nd to Trevino 4 times!
