SOUTH AYRSHIRE, SCOTLAND – After leading through most of the British Open, Tom Watson, Stanford ’68 is a member of Alpha Sigma Phi who had won five previous British Opens, lost a four round playoff but still earned a huge payday of $732,603 for his second place finish.
His last British Open victory was in 1983 and, at age 59, was trying to become the oldest player to ever win a major tournament. Tying for fifth place at the Open was Sigma Chi's Luke Donald, who won $255,597. In another weekend tournament, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, a member of Sigma Pi, shot a final round 71 to place second at the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship in Stateline, Nevada.
