I remember Fred Couples saying after this something like how good do I have to play as I was 21 under in my first Champions Tournament and I lose? Yep these guys are good!
My goodness, Tom's second shot on 18 out of the light rough to about 3' with the pressure of basically playing match play with Fred? Just an absolute clutch shot!
Both these players are really what the game is about. They are both true champs and huge favorites with the spectators. So good to watch the. Play again.
Tom Watson never forget the duel in the sun in '77 vs Nicklaus, then again in 2009 when at 59 he almost won another Open Championship, an American Icon.
17th hole at TPC Sawgrass 1999. I was the 17th and Fred hit ball in water and Tom placed his right of Sandtrap. Fred hit next shot form tee box and put it in the hole on the fly for Par. Tom chip over trap on the ridge above the flag and it trickled down for Birdee. The Walrus plying with them was about 6 feet from the hole and missed put for par.
Just a touch too much club. Should’ve hit the 9 he said. Even though he didn’t win, he tied the British open at the age of 59 which to me is the single greatest golfing accomplishment there is imo
Fred spouting random facts about nature is the content I never knew I needed. You know he’s not just reading it. He probably is friendly with a few blue whales. And he’s telling us what they told him. The whales love Fred. Like the rest of us.
Tom explodes through the ball (great drive). Freddie just seems to take a fairly casual swing and out drives Tom. Huh? Golf is a strange game. Also, those "It's in the hole 'fans' " really need to be asked to stop with the asinine shouting or leave.
all time legend. Thank’s Watson and Couples.❤
Wiley waskilly Watson does it again! One of the true GREATS in golf history. That swing is super consistent and his iron play was spectacular!

Rough doesn't usually impede Tom Watson. Sand either.

Doesn't matter how old he gets, Tom's ball striking will always be legit. One of my favorite iron players.

Me and Dad watched that one at a bar, best times. I didn't like Cink for a while after that.
@@scottrackley4457who did lol
Golf used to be so much classier than it is today.
2 of the best Classic golf swings in the world.
These older gents looking smooth out there. 😳
Older, but still young, and having fun.
Two of my favorite golfers. Thanks for the video, great quality!!! Self Quarantine 2020
A heart warming finish as only it can be.
The best swing i have ever seen: Couples. I LOVE it.

What was with the Couples fun fact for the day? Lol
You can just watch Freddie hit balls on the range all day and be entertained. His swing is butter
I'm just here for Freddie.
Watsonian institution of crisp irons👍
Great finish; too bad Tom couldn't have hit his approach like that into the final hole at Turnberry in '09, to win the Open; two great players
He did. It just hit on the downslope and ran by the pin.
I died a little that day, I was convinced Tom could hit that shot close.

GREAT VID. ! Cheers !

Fred has to have the best golf stories ever. "Shot 64 final round to lose to Watson by 1." Who else has those stories?
Kinda want to go and buy a grill! Don't know why! Great win Mr. Watson!
Pavin has yet to play in an event on champions tour huh?
Awesome !!
Hale Irwin was about 66 years old and scored like being in his prime.
Hale's swing was underrated.
Love Fred's shoes 👞 look like "beach shoes"
Not happy with Tom’s trousers
@@MGN153 😁
Couples now a wildlife expert 😂
Phil won a major at 50...one year earlier Watson was a Par away from winning at 59
What an iron game for Watson. It seems so easy for him.
Elementary my dear Watson ?
Fred "the Big Lebowski" Couples.
he's way cooler than him.
Imagine taking this long to read a putt at your local club, you'd be kicked off the course!
Lucky for Fred he made that first putt. after he read it for 2 minutes 😒
I'm only here to watch Tom.
👌
-20😂 are they playing a put put golf or is it a par 3 nine hole thing at a camping trailer park 😂🤣
Those greens don't look real.
