This Day in Golf History: July 27

On this weekend at Royal Porthcawl, the 36th Senior Open Championship will be played. On this date in 2003 at Turnberry, Scotland, three-time champion Tom Watson parred the second playoff hole to defeat English journeyman Carl Mason for his 10th career major victory. Watson shot a six-under-par 64 but bogeyed the last hole of regulation.
