Teary eyed Watson says goodbye?
After sinking his putt, Tom Watson looked at the ball as if he would keep it as a momento. He then tossed it into the Pacific Ocean.
Watson parred No. 18 after his birdie putt lipped out to wrap up what is possibly his final U.S. Open. The 60-year-old got a standing ovation and had tears in his eyes as he approached the green and nearly delivered a birdie.
With seven bogeys, Watson finished at five-over for the day and 11-over in the 31st U.S. Open of his career.
