Ryder Cup captain Tom Watson shoots 68
in final round of British Open,
passing Tiger Woods


Associated Press

HOYLAKE, England – Tom Watson's ball rolled on to the 18th green at Royal Liverpool on Sunday and most of the spectators in the horseshoe grandstand gave him a prolonged standing ovation.

The five-time Open champion, doffing his cap as he walked, has a way of doing that to a crowd, especially in Britain.

Watson's putt for eagle just missed, leaving him with a 4-under 68 and a climb up the leaderboard past Tiger Woods, the man Ryder Cup captain Watson will consider as one of his three picks for September's Ryder Cup.

The 64-year-old Watson finished at 1-over 289 for the tournament, five strokes better than Woods — who carded 75 Sunday.

Watson says Sunday's round gave him plenty of confidence for next week's British Senior Open at Royal Porthcawl in Wales.

Tiger never has been the same since his wife whipped him and his car with that golf club.

I hate the way the TV guys shoot golf tournaments these days, but you can go online for major events and find a site where you can watch the action from a single hole — much more natural than *thwack* (follow drive), *thwack* (follow drive), *thwack* (follow drive) camerawork.
