Sr. British Open: Sir Watson wins British No. 7

While on the PGA, Tom Watson won a remarkable 5 British Opens. Last week, at St. Andrews, 55-year-old Tom made the cut and finished at a respectable -1. Is Tom perhaps the best links golfer ever, at least from the U.S.?

Well, yesterday, he shot a stunning 64 at Royal Aberdeen in Scotland to take the lead at the Sr. British Open (which he has won once already). Full leaderboard here.

UPDATE: Tom Watson pulled off the victory today, winning a 3-hole playoff to defeat Des Smyth. The two finished regulation tied at -4, while Greg Norman was 1 behind at -3.
