Bully for Watson: Great to see him win the Senior Open, and in a playoff finish, to boot. His longtime caddy, Bruce Edwards, has ALS and has can't afford the expensive treatment that prolongs his life. Watson has quietly taken over the medical bills. This will help.

By the way, why is it that the senior boys shot so well under par in Scotland, while the main tour shot almost entirely over par in Sandwich? Could the courses have really been that different, or is it the Geritol?

Oh, yeah. And Suzy Whaley missed the cut in Hartford. Whatever. We went over this when Annika was the issue. I'd let a chimp play at the U.S. Open, as long as he (or she) shot from the men's tees to qualify.
