I thought I was pulling hard for Duval to win the US Open. I will be rooting like hell for Watson tomorrow. Would love to see him win and then retire from the game competitively. Talk about going out on top at age 59.

He'd win a 10 year exemption on the PGA Tour if he wins this...it would be interesting to see if he takes the exemption and quits the senior tour

It's too bad Tiger didn't make the weekend....as it would look surreal to see both Woods and Watson on the leaderboard next to each other.

This is great. I hope like hell he can pull it off. My mom is 79 (still golfing) and will be glued to the TV tomorrow. What he's already done is unreal, but man if he could win this thing,:eek: :tro:

You can do both. He doesn't have to quit the senior tour.

Watson may be the last one standing, nerves of steel.

:tro: go Tom go

awesome par right there

if he can birdie on 17 and it could be over...

How amazing is this.

Westwood has made some great shots...

just go off the tee box Tom..... YES!!!!

He looks like a rock, but he HAS to be churning inside.

He powered that one thru the green.....putt downhill leave it close..par putt..and its over

I like the putter

ouch

Of course it would come down to a 10 foot putt.......lets play on.

SH^T

That broke my heart. I don't ever remember rooting so hard for someone to make a putt.

Gah! This is killing me.

I think Cink has the edge here, but I hope not.

When Cink gets his putter going he is tough...he made a great putt on 18.

Absolutely he has the edge. He's coming into the playoff off a birdie and is riding high. Watson has got to shake the image of that horrible putt and move on.

Oh and he's 23 years younger and that much less tired.

:o my bad, But Watson has the world on his side.

Your bad?

my bad for stating the obvious

Watson has been clutch the whole week with having won 5 of these.....Cink has NEVER been clutch at a major. ......

And yes I saw him into the bunker before I posted this so no points for that

I don't see it as being that obvious. I'll take Watson's head and heart over Cink's all day long.

Here's the shot of the playoff for Watson right here...cmon ole boy.

What a putt/par. Kept himself in it there.

By the way, how about the 16 yr old Italian, Matteo Manassero finishing tied for 13th?

I can't imagine how bad I would've choked if I were inside the ropes of a major at 16.

That was serious....

I will say I have never seen a pro hit such a bad putt like on 18. That was '24' esqe

That was horrible. I have to believe that it shook him up a bit for this playoff.

find that ball!

He tried to bite off too much. Should've gone straight out to the fairway.

Stewart Cink = most boring British Open champion ever

Boring how? You want him to sing and dance?

What a f-n bummer, and to lose it on your trademark achilles' heel is going to make it a lot worse. Hell of a run, thanks Tom:tro:

He earned it.

It sucks to hand the championship to a certified choker. God damnit.

3 under in 4 holes, any 4 holes on this course, is earning it.
