Description

After four heady days on the fabled Turnberry links, Tom Watson, an all-time great but nearly 60 and with an artificial hip, faced an eight-foot putt to become not just the oldest but also the most successful player in Open history. The golfing world held its breath. This is the story of that memorable weekend.
