59 year old Tom Watson and fellow American Stewart Cink have gone into a 4-hole playoff to decide the British Open golf championship after a wide open race for the title at Turnberry in Scotland.
Over the closing holes, it came down to the two Americans, Australia's Mathew Goggin and the Englishman Lee Westwood, and Watson had a chance to win his 6th Open championship on the 72nd hole, but he three putted from off the back of the green to let Cink into the playoff. They finished the tournament just two-under par.
Westwood missed the playoff by one shot when he took three putts on the final green, and he shared third place with 21 year old Englishman Chris Wood who was the leading amateur at last year's Open.
Mathew Goggin, England's Luke Donald and the South African Retief Goosen tied for 5th on even par.
