This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

How old was Watson when he won his last major? by irishrock
Answer is 33
He won four before 30 and four after
But he was so close to winning US Open in ‘83, Masters in ‘84, British in ‘84. US Open in ‘87, Masters in ‘91, and obviously British Open in ‘09. He was KC’a third sports franchise and is beloved here. Of all the majors I wish he would have won the obvious one is ‘09 Open...but the one I really would have liked to see him win would have been the ‘83 US Open as he would have been a repeat winner of both US Open and British Open which would have been a helluva feat. Certainly, I would have loved for him to have won a PGA to get the career slam as he seemed like such a good golfer and should have accomplished it
Winning majors in one’s 40’s ain’t easy.
