@HawkmanDude Your are a ass yes Tiger is the greatest of this Era, but he is not the Greatest of all time until he wins his 19th major championship. Until then that title goes to the Golden Bear. Tom Watson is a true gentlemen. Who does not swear throw his club or cheat on his wife. I still like Tiger. But Tom Watson is one of the best men on the planet and took his loss last year like a man.

Thank you for recording this. I just looked it up & it's one of favorite golf videos!

@HawkmanDude Tiger may in fact be the greatest, but why do you have to disrespect a class act?

[iwonthetri]

Still thinking about his class and character months later.

What an inspiration.

My favourite sports story of 09...

[pat52007]

Most people will never understand how great Tom Watson's achievement was that week at the British Open, even though he came in second. Personally I don't know how anyone will ever eclipse what he did at age 59...It was truly amazing!!!

[trapsmv9]

It was so heartbreaking, yet fantastic to watch. Thank you, Tom Watson, indeed.

[MattJones1418]

who cares. if he finished 37th we wouldn't be saying wow! at 59 and he finished 37th. what a tool

[iwonthetri]

@MattJones1418

I care. i don't mind that he is not your favorite. But please don't be negative. He is a champion and hero to many.

Thank you for hearing me out.

[MattJones1418]

@iwonthetri I'm saying the poster was a tool, not Tom Watson. Durrrr

[Jon3323]

Great video. That championship is one that I won't forget anytime soon.

[chaarlietheunicorn]

This guy is great,

and the video is awesome as well

[ericld11]

sorry about the low volume, I had to record it by hand with an iphone...

[sdostaler]

@ericld11 great quality for an iphone

[raidernation1980x]

this video is great, and a true testament to an era that people my age (23) won't ever see again. an era where athletes played because they loved what they did, not for the money, fame, or anything else. hell, watson made more with this finish than his previous 31 starts in the open. and to carry himself in the victory and defeat with the same dignity he always has, unlike tiger and other greats of other sports, should be a lesson to all kids out there looking to grow up to be an athlete.

[samphillips975]

Great Video, 5 stars, I love how he behaved on the course

[stefinini22]

Thank you soooo much for posting this one!!! I was really hoping someone will do it!!!!

[gmaccruyff5]

Well said.Tom Watson is a superstar for all age groups now and i would officially give him the title of "Freedom of Scotland".
