Two monts shy of his 60th birthday, Tom Watson leads The Open after three rounds. Even though I have to work tomorrow, I'll be sittng on the edge of my chair hoping Tom has one more good round in him. How wonderful would it be for an older Gent to be a Young Man one more time? 
We're pullin' for you Tom!!
Roy
Amen to that Roy! There's a thirtysomething trapped in that sixtysomething body.
Tom Watson is the shiz. Go Tom Go!!!!
Yeah, Tom Watson, showing the youngsters how to play the game of golf. It is good to see. Let's pray Tom does have another good round in him.

Go Tom! Get-er Done!
One hole to go and a one shot lead. Come on Tom, you can do it!!!!! 
I'm listening from work via the web.
Roy
Well, Tom didn't do it in 72 holes, he bogeyed 18 and he's now tied with Stewart Cink. A playoff we'll have. The best total score after four holes wins. And if they're tied then, it's Sudden Death. 
Roy
Well, Tom didn't do it in the playoff, but my hat goes off to Him and Stewart Cink!
It's hard for me to imagine how someone almost four years older than I am, could beat almost all of the world's top Golf professionals at the greatest Golfing event in the world. Tom Watson, truly a marvel!
Roy
Yeah, Tom nearly made it. But in the play off, you could see he didn't have quite enough in the end. But congratulations to Stewart, Open Champion 2009.

Cink's a good golfer, and he finally made up for missing that short putt at the US Open a few years ago that cost him the title. So it is good to see him do that. But man it would've been cool if Tom would've won that.
I would of pulled out a wedge instead of using my putter for that third shot on eighteen, but that's just me. I'm sure Tom went with the best club for him. Sure wish he could've pulled it off, but his tank appeared empty in the play-off. Congrats to Stewart Cink though! Like Deezer said - the man was due this time around.
I have never felt worse while watching a golf tournament, then I did when Tom missed that putt on 18 in regulation.
Like reading a wonderful book that has a crappy ending!
