Thank You, Tom Watson

I feel sad that Tom Watson lost in The Open. He embodied the hope of eternal youth. That age didn't matter, that one can win golf majors at 59. His win would have given us all a belief in our unfading powers.

It almost happened, and for more than one moment it was in the realm of the probable. And for that I thank Tom Watson. Because he dared to prove what we all want to believe in.

One day, someone will do it. Because Tom Watson showed that it could be done.
