Tom Watson almost became the oldest man ever to win a major PGA golf tournament. This after last year, Greg Norman almost accomplished the same feat. Let’s hope they don’t end up declaring Ensure a performance enhancing drug.

One silver lining, after his dismal playoff performance, Watson was declared a honorary San Jose Shark.

You almost feel sorry for Stewart Cink. In any almost other year, this 36 year old who had never won a major – after being PGA rookie of the year in 1997 – would have been a great fairy tale. And actually Cink did end up being a fairy tale character, unfortunately it was the Grinch.

Or as Jim Barach put it. “Stewart Cink beat 59 year old golf legend Tom Watson in a playoff for the British Open. After winning the trophy, Cink got a call from his parents who said ”Nice going, jerk.'”

The San Francisco Giants finally won Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-3. In the first two games of the series, the Giants had only ONE unearned runs and had zero RBI’s. With the that little scoring there was talk of renaming them the “San Francisco Trekkies.”
