Former Open champion Tom Watson is still able to pull off a 74.
Perhaps it should come as no surprise considering he is so close to winning a sixth Open at the age of 59.
Watson still does it all right off the tee.
His game has always been on the links and he has not lost his creativity.
Even when playing in blustery conditions at Prestwick.
Watson stands out as one of the greatest players in the game of golf with his eight Majors, 39 PGA Tour wins, another 14 worldwide, and 14 Champions Tour titles, six of them majors.
He was the PGA Tour Player of the Year six times and the leading money winner in five seasons. Waston won the Vardon Trophy for the lowest scoring average on tour three times and won the season-long Schwab Cup race on the Champions Tour twice.
He is the only man in history to shoot at least one round of 67 or better in all four majors in four decades. He also made at least one cut on tour – even after stepping back from the limited schedule in 1999 – for 37 straight years (1971-2007). In 2015, he became the oldest man to break the Masters round and shot 65-67 in the final two rounds of the First Tee Challenge at Pebble Beach in September, which is estimated to have shot his age through 36 holes.
Which means his legacy has always been enduring success and consistency.
These days he lives on his 400-acre farm outside of Kansas City with his wife Hilary but still gets in the rounds as often as possible.
