At 59 Years Old, Tom Watson....

I am a sports nut. I love the stories in sports. I have avidly been following Lance Armstrong's return to the Tour de France. But today, there is amazing news at the British Open. The British Open is notorious for gobbling up the best in golf. Almost always played in links courses, which are a rarity here in the States, the best golfers tend to follow their balls into huge holes which are sand traps, into the ocean, or watch their shots at a championship float down a small stream running through the course.

One of the legacies of the British Open was a duel between Tom Watson and Jack Nicolas. Shot for shot thriller.

And today, 59 year old Tom Watson did it again. For almost the whole day he led the field and currently sits one shot under the leader.

It doesn't get much better.
