Thank you, Keyboard Cat, for playing off Tom Watson. We can now close the book on this chapter in golf history. Although he made a valiant effort and has inspired older weekend warriors the world around, once Keyboard Cat has had his say, we shall speak of it no more.

Watson on the Brink of Immortality
3rdstringsafety.com 7/18/2009 — Golf has needed Tom Watson before. It was the 1993 Ryder Cup and the 43 year old Watson was called upon to captain the team.

Blame Modern Equipment for Tom Watson's Historic Run
waggleroom.com 7/27/2009 — Golf Digest's equipment editor Mike Stachura is usually a pretty astute guy. He teams with Michael Johnson to write the Bomb and Gouge blog over at that shop.
