Turnberry – The Watson Shot
July 2009. Legendary golfer Tom Watson stood over a putt on the 18th hole of The Ailsa, named after that famous Duel in the Sun in 1977. Watson was wining, his ball 8ft from the hole. If he sank the putt, he would have completed one of the most extraordinary of sporting achievements. Here is how Watson played the shot and an alternative way of playing it as demonstrated by a Turnberry golf professional.
