Watson Hits Hole-in-One at British Open

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...

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

It's cool and all, but is it really "breaking news?"

It's a lot less depressing that the "real" breaking news today...like Obama claiming 80 percent of Americans WANT tax hikes.

I thought so. Mods can move if they choose.

I also loved the story that the young amateur, Tom Lewis, was actually named after Tom Watson (also his idol), and is paired with him.
