I heard one TV analyst say that he wanted to get the name of Tom’s pharmacist, meaning, of course, that you can’t be that capable at 59 without the use of drugs or at least hormone therapy. This is selling Tom short on his accomplishments. I have seen years of experience with athletes that have tried to excel with the use of drugs and it doesn’t work in golf and certainly doesn’t help reduce the effects of age. Tom has done this the old fashion way, with work and determination.
It was very hard to watch the playoff for me, I watched the whole round and was rooting for Tom all the way.
When he had the put on 18 for the title, I didn’t think he would putt it like he did. It didn’t have a chance. I thought he’d go for it and hit it harder and more at the hole.
When they were starting the playoff I had a feeling what did happen would, and I was sad that it did.
Coming in 2nd though was still amazing, and I’ll remember this for a long time.
