Golf survived. The great and powerful Tiger Woods missed the cut at the British Open and the sport of golf actually survived. An even greater storyline emerged,thanks to Tom Watson. The 59 year old, 5-time British Open champion shook off challenge after challenge heading to the final hole where par would have handed him a sixth Claret Jug. But it wasn't to be. It was Stewart Cink's time.
But the sport of golf won this weekend. In the end it didn't matter that Tiger missed the cut or Phil was home with his wife. A great story was written by one of the games great champions. It brought back echos of Arnie and Jack and Slammin Sam and Hogan. So thanks one more time Tom for a riveting weekend, me and my HDTV.
