Can Watson do it? ( 2009 Poll )

[powerz]

Simple yes or no can he win the jug?

Last year it was the shark and we kind of felt he would fold as he has done in the past. But this could be one for all time tomorrow!


Lets go Tommy!!!!

What a GREAT story. Finally something in golf other than a Tiger Woods story. Watson seems so genuine.
Also-picked him up yesterday at 60 -1 for $20
He played solid and a bad hole or two does not rattle him like we saw with Marino today.
Don't like Westwood and Goose lurking and young Fisher is sweet

Anyone but Marino !!

So Go Tommy !! @)

Also holding....

Westwood, Fuyrk, Goose & Vjay. Think I should hedge on Fischer - been holding out waiting for his wife to call him home.

If you vote "no" you truly have no heart.

If you vote "no" you truly have no heart.

Uh, thinking someone can or cannot win has nothing to do with heart.

I chose no because I don't think he can do it. I think he will crack tomorrow. Although, I am 110% rooting for him to win.

Yep, guess I truly have no heart.

 

[red007]

anyone know what his odds were to win at start of tournament?

 

[red007]

he'll choke.
i hope he wins though

 

[Schleppboy]

I saw 1500-1 somewhere but mainly 1000-1 to start the week.

 

[HarryCaray]

Can he? sure

Will he? maybe a different story

I think he's got a real good shot

Saying anything about Watson at this point feels like being in the dugout (hopefully the other end) of no hit pitcher in the eighth. Of all my sports memories, Nicholas on the Augusta 15th back in ''86 is among most vivid. Regarding Nicholas (copy Wickipedia) T Boswell wrote,"
"Some things cannot possibly happen, because they are both too improbable and too imperfect. The US hockey team cannot beat the Russians in the 1980 Olympics. Jack Nicklaus cannot shoot 65 to win the Masters at age 46. Nothing else comes immediately to mind."
I think he might actually do this; he has links experience and soft hands and mental stability.

 

[michael777]

i will be rooting for him

Great statement. Couldn't agree more.

Choking has nothing to do with it....

Hope he wins; maybe it is Destiny...

(really hate that word choke when it pertains to sports)

How many rows must a man walk down?

 

[JackStraw77]

Tom Watson was one of the best golfers of his era. It's not some fluke guy winning a major. He knows how to win.

 

[5teamparlay]

30 years ago, this is unheard of, very much a fluke....

the world is rooting for him.

of Woods! This is one day where I'll watch the whole thing!! Rooting for "OLD" Tom, almost my generation. Will be a challenge for sure, as the weather is supposed to turn uglier than usual.:toast:
