Daly, Watson complete final round at Open



Tom Watson and John Daly were out early Sunday morning at the 2012 British Open. Watson cards a 72 and finishes with a four-day score of 292, while Daly finishes with a 74, two strokes behind Watson with a 294.

The two players, both former Open champs, ended up at the bottom of the leader board but, I for one, still find it mind boggling. They're playing on foreign soil against the best in the world, battling a tough course with the wind, bunkers which look like foxholes, and certain areas of the rough that look taller than a 7-iron...and they still end up averaging 73, 73.5 respectively, each round! I couldn't do that on a good day at the El Dorado, a par-62 course on Speedway Boulevard! They are pros, possessing talent which is hard to fathom to a weekend duffer like me.

Then you move to the top of the leader board and there sits the likes of Adam Scott and Tiger Woods, both likely to finish at double digits under par!
