I didn't watch Tom Watson on Sunday. Not that I wasn't pulling for him - I was. I just didn't think I could handle the emotion of it - if he failed.
As Rick Riley of Sports Illustrated said, Watson's run for the Clarett Jug this weekend would be a win for the ages and made all of us 50-somethings feel younger.
Heck, if he could win the British Open at 59, then surely I could do something equally spectacular, like maybe getting through an entire night without having to go to the bathroom.
