Tom Watson had the British Open title in his hands with a one stroke lead as he took the 18th tee. He evetually put himself into position on 18th green to win the title with a 8 foot putt, but missed the shot, bogeyed the hole and went into a playoff with Stewart Cink.
The playoff was pretty much over once it started, as Watson bogeyed the first playoff hole, and it just got worse form there. Watson's age might of finally caught up with him once he got to the playoff. Cink on the other hand was spot on. After hitting a bridie on the 18th, he continued his great play in the playoff round as he shot minus 2 over four playoff holes and Watson was plus 4.
Great tournament, and Watson made it one to remember, he just couldn't finish it off. Give credit to Cink who battled to get to the playoff and then took control. Definitely a British Open that will go down as one of the best ever.
