Impossible still means nothing to ace Watson

TOM WATSON is the gift that kept on giving.

In winning eight majors, five of them on British links courses, Watson has more than earned his place in the golfing pantheon, and in almost adding another at Turnberry two years ago at the age of 59, he gave middle-aged men everywhere the belief that anything was possible, an “is féidir linn” for the wrinklies, if you will.

Yesterday at Royal St George’s, Watson was at it again, not just making the cut at the 140th British Open at the age of 61 but doing so with a hole in one.
