Tom Watson Gets Lei’d After Victory at Mitsubishi in Hawaii!
Two of my favorite all time golfers, Tom Watson and Fred Couples, were battling down the stretch in the Mitsubishi Electric Championship on January 24th. On the 18th hole one “Helluva Golfer”, Tom Watson outlasted Fred Couples and was victorious in the end. He claimed his victory in style with consecutive birdies on the last two holes. He won by a shot over Fred Couples at Hualalai, Hawaii, a perfect venue for this remarkable win.
The old man at 60 beat the young buck at 50 years young to keep his streak going strong. Having just come off a skins victory, after partnering with Jack Nicklaus a few weeks back and his incredible run at a 6th British Open title last year against Stewart Cink, Tom Watson may be playing some of the best golf of his illustrious career. He can still hit golf balls with the best of them and I wouldn’t be surprised if there was another major in his future. Can’t wait to see what this season holds for him. Happy Golfing to All!
