Watson, 65, aiming to make cut in open farewell

Tom's final tour of Royal & Ancient will only add to his legacy, Reuters reports from St. Andrews, Scotland.

Five-time champion Tom Watson is going through the full gamut of emotions ahead of his final British Open next month, but he is certain he doesn't want to bow out with a whimper.

The 2014 edition at Royal Liverpool was due to be the veteran American's swansong and he is grateful the Royal & Ancient organizers tweaked its rules to allow him a special exemption to sign off at St. Andrews, the 'Home of Golf'.
