There is not a single person on this planet that didn't feel the pain of Tom Watson not making par on the last hole to win the British Open.

TURNBERRY, Scotland -- Sorry to be a while to get back to you, wanted to be out there for what I thought would be historical moment.

What a shame, not only did Westwood not do it, costing me about $2,500 dollars, but now Tom Watson has let us down. Now I can't image the pressure on him on the final hole, it showed on the second shot, the chip wasn't very good and the putt, very ugly.

Just hope that Watson can regroup for the four hole playoff that will go 5, 6, 17 and 18. Are hats off for Stewart Cink, who shot 69 but made a great birdie at the final hole. Cink shot 66-72-71-69 and he has to be the big favorite in a playoff.

For those wondering, we have about three and a half hours of daylight left, this is a great way of determining a winner in a tie. They will play two par 4s, a par 3 and a par 5.
