He speaks of “not having the tools in the toolbox I used to have,” but somehow, Tom Watson still manages to make do. Now here he is, at age 65, on the precipice of yet another amazing accomplishment.
With one round to go in the U.S. Senior Open, Watson is just one shot off the lead. Bernhard Langer, who has established himself as one of the best Champions Tour players ever, and Jeff Maggert stand in front of him, and seven other players, including Champions Tour stalwarts Kenny Perry and Colin Montgomerie, are tied with him, so nothing is likely to come easy for Watson at Del Paso Country Club in Sacramento.
