Watson On His Final Open: "It is like a death, the finality of that."

As quoted by Martin Dempster in The Scotsman, Tom Watson on his final Open Championship this year.

He was speaking of a recent trip to St. Andrews...

“I was here on Monday and I walked by the Swilcan Bridge and I felt a little melancholy, a little sad. But the more I look at it, I’ve had such a wonderful run at the Open Championship that there are too many good memories to be so sad, even though it is over. It is like a death, the finality of that. It’s over, but let the void of that death be filled by those memories and that helps soothe the disappointment of the melancholy.”
