Watson Turns Back the Clock

Tom Watson, who outlasted David Eger in a playoff to capture the Senior PGA Championship on Sunday, continues to add to his growing legacy. Watson, 61, has been playing more like he's 31 in recent years. If you recall, it was merely a couple years ago that he nearly shocked the golf world at the British Open. And he might not be done quite yet.

If I was a betting man, I'd say he can win at least 3-5 more times on the Champions Tour. If he entered a PGA Tour event I think he'd win one of those too.

Even at his "old" age of 61, I'd take him to beat most of the young guns on Tour. His iron accuracy and touch around the greens rival the best in the world, even still today.
