It’s time to put an asterisk next to the 2 Majors Paddy Harrington won last year in Tiger’s absence. Yesyerday , he was paired up with Eldrick and was going along great until he attempted an idiotic flop shot on 16 that bounced his chances into a watery grave. What in the world was he thinking. The PGA is up this week and I will have Pat Coyner on the show Wednesday to make his predictions.
What can anyone say? 59 year old Tom Watson was down to the last shot he had to make to win–a 180 yard fairway shot to the green. He chose one club too many and the rest is history. Watson certainly captued the imagination of the entire world. The missed putt on 18 for Watson was hard to watch as pressure got the better of him. For Cink it was his first major.
Can the greatest Links player in the history of golf hold on? Who could be the spoiler? My gut instincts tell me Jim Furyk or Stewart Cink could destroy the hopes of every Senior golfer in the land.Watson tees off at 9:20 AM–let’s hope at 1:30 we are watching him walk up 18 victorious.
