Tom Watson won his first of 5 British Open Championships in July of 1975 -- five months before Tiger Woods was born. Watson, now 59 heads into the weekend tied for the lead with Steve Marino at five under par. Watson fired an even par 70 today, which for me was even more impressive than his...
Georgia Bulldogs Figure Prominently at U.S. Open, British Amateur, and Wimbledon
