Thanks to a hole in one. Awesome shot but very lucky also. I guess all holes in one are lucky though.

Tom Watson aced the par-three sixth with a four-iron on Friday at the 140th British Open Championship.

This was the second hole-in-one in as many days at Royal St. George's. Dustin Johnson aced the 16th on Thursday.
Watson's hole-in-one was the fifth at Royal St. George's since 1981, but the first on a hole other than the 16th.

The other three aces, which were posted by Gordon J. Brand, Roger Chapman and Sam Torrance, were all carded in 1981.
Watson's hole-in-one moved the 59-year-old off the cut line. He also birdied the par-five seventh to climb into a share of 17th at one-under par.
Royal Troon also has five aces since 1981. The two courses have the most aces of any Open Championship venue.

The last time there were multiple aces in a single championship was in 2006 at Royal Liverpool Golf Club.

32 players have finished their 3rd round, Watson has shot the best score today..

He missed a put on 18 to win the British 2 years ago. At 60 years old, amazing.

Amazing control of a golf ball.

Realistically his only shot is the British as it is generally a very short course, but he could win it at 65 or 70 if he stays healthy.

Amazing player for his age. But the problem is they always toughen up the course and flag locations on the weekend. That's when the geezers begin to fade. Two geezers that could make some noise and go the distance this week are Jimenez and Singh. Both 50 years old and playing well.
