Tom Watson – So Close At Turnberry<=
/o:p>
Tom Watson says he is already over the heartbreak of
missing out on a sixth British Open title at Turnberry, and is convinced =
he played
the right approach shot at the final hole.
The 59-year-old golf great was on the verge of becoming the oldest winner=
of
a major when he led by one stroke going down the last fairway on Sunday. =
But
he wound up losing a playoff to Stewart Cink after he sent an 8-iron appr=
oach
that rolled right across the green, and then missed an 8-foot putt for the
win.
Despite the outcome, Watson said he couldn’t have hit the shot any
better.
![](3D"july09_files/image006.jpg") “You
look back in perspective of the rounds and how they went, that 8-iron tha=
t I
hit at 18 will always live with me. I hit the shot that I wanted to hit, I
really did.” “I look at that shot; I hit it perfectly, a=
nd
didn’t get the break.”
Watson said he had a near sleepless night on Sunday and had to console his
“distraught” 26-year-old son Michael. But he then had no prob=
lems
putting what happened in perspective, comparing it with his visit two yea=
rs
ago to the hospitalized U.S.
troops in Iraq,
some of whom sent him messages after coming so close at Turnberry.
If Watson had held on and won the Open, he would have received an exempti=
on
to carry on playing in that championship for another 10 years. But with t=
he
Open organizers having an age cap of 60, next year’s event at St. Andrews is likely to be his
last. “It’s sensible, you have to give the young k=
ids
a chance to play, and that’s the whole reason behind it,” he
said. “Get the old fogeys out of there, and give the young kids a
chance to get in there and shine.”

We are hoping to open the Junior Golf academy very
soon. The idea is to attract new young golfers along to learn golf and
progress into full membership. If you know of any youngsters that need a
helping hand then please get them to contact us. Thanks - Martin
