A last look at Tom Watson

Golf.com held a nice roundtable discussion about Tom Watson's British Open efforts.

When this happens, I wonder … how can it be a roundtable discussion when it's written?

And … is the table really round, or are they sneaking a rectangle discussion by us here?

At any rate, it had a nice summary, including this round point from Damon Hack, the round mound of round dimpled ball sports: "As writers, we root for the story, and a Watson win would have transcended golf and made for one joyride of a Sunday-night write. Who knows when this opportunity will ever come again."

Joyride? The Dragster is a joyride. Tom Watson would have been endearing.

Clearly, that statement sounds like it came from an oblong table.
