Golf legend Tom Watson rolled back the years with a magical hole in one on the second morning of The Open at Sandwich.
Watson played the perfect four iron tee shot on the short sixth, with the ball bouncing once and flying straight into the hole.
The 61-year-old American, who came within a whisker of winning golf's grandest prize two years ago, threw his arms to the sky as the big crowds following him cheered their approval.

Not something you see every day...

I thought so. Mods can move if they choose.
