He was born in Kansas City, Missouri. Kansas City Missouri only Items for the metro area Kansas City Kansas or North Kansas City MO should go on their respective pages A lifelong golfer, he was introduced to the game by his father Ray, a fine player. His early coach was Stan Thirsk at the Kansas City Country Club. The Kansas City Country Club, founded in 1896 is a Country club in Mission Hills, Kansas, USA, an affluent suburb of Kansas City Missouri He first gained local renown while on his high school team at The Pembroke-Country Day School in Kansas City. The Pembroke Hill School (commonly known as Pembroke Hill) is a Nonsectarian, Coeducational private preparatory school in Watson won four straight Missouri State Amateur championships, from 1968-1971[2]. Missouri ( or) is a state in the Midwestern region of the United States bordered by Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee He began his professional golf career in 1971, the same year he graduated from Stanford University, where he was a member of Alpha Sigma Phi Fraternity, with a degree in psychology, and played on the golf team.

Watson joined the PGA Tour in 1971 after a very good (but not standout) amateur career, and gradually improved. The PGA Tour is an organization that operates the main professional Golf tours in the United States. He got into contention in a major championship for the first time in the 1974 U.S. Open at the Winged Foot Golf Club, where he led after three rounds, but faded badly in the final round. The United States Open Championship, commonly known as the US Winged Foot Golf Club is a 36-hole Golf course located in Mamaroneck New York. Following this disappointment, Watson was approached by legendary player Byron Nelson, who offered assistance. Early life and career Born near Waxahachie Texas, Byron Nelson was the son of Madge Allen Nelson and John Byron Nelson Sr With Nelson's guidance on swing mechanics and course management, Watson's game advanced quickly, and he won his first title shortly afterwards at the 1974 Western Open. The Western Open, a professional Golf tournament was first played in 1899

He has won eight major championships on the PGA Tour—two Masters (1977 and 1981), one U.S. Open (1982), and five British Opens (1975, 1977, 1980, 1982, 1983). The men's major golf championships, often referred to simply as "the majors" are the four most prestigious annual tournaments in professional Golf.

His 1977 British Open victory, at Turnberry in Scotland, was especially memorable. Scotland ( Gaelic: Alba) is a Country in northwest Europethat occupies the northern third of the island of Great Britain. After two rounds, he and Jack Nicklaus were one shot out of the lead and paired for the third round. For his detailed statistics records and other achievements see List of career achievements by Jack Nicklaus. Both shot 65, ending the third round three shots clear of the field. Watson and Nicklaus were again paired for the final round. On the last day, the two were tied after 16 holes. Nicklaus missed a makeable birdie putt on 17, losing his share of the lead to Watson, who birdied 17. On the 18th, Nicklaus drove into the rough, while Watson drove into the fairway. Watson's approach landed three feet from the flag, while Nicklaus, after a drive into deep rough, managed to get his approach 50 feet away. Nicklaus sank his birdie putt to finish with a 66, but Watson followed suit with his own birdie, finishing with a second straight 65 and his second Open, with a record score of 268. The two players finished well ahead of the other challengers. They shot the same score every day, except for Sunday.

Watson's U. S. Open win, in 1982 at Pebble Beach, was equally memorable. Year 1982 ( MCMLXXXII) was a Common year starting on Friday (link displays the 1982 Gregorian calendar) Pebble Beach Golf Links is one of several well known courses in Pebble Beach California and probably the most famous Golf course in the Western United States Nicklaus, playing two groups ahead of Watson in the final round, charged into a share of the lead with five consecutive birdies. When Watson reached the par-3 17th hole the two were still tied, but with Nicklaus safely in the clubhouse at 4 under par 284. Watson hit his tee shot on 17 into the rough just off the green. He faced an extremely difficult chip shot downhill on a very fast green that sloped toward the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific Ocean is the largest of the Earth 's Oceanic divisions While being interviewed on national television and fully aware of Watson's terrible predicament, Nicklaus appeared confident he was on his way to an unprecedented fifth U. S. Open championship. Watson's chip shot, amazingly, hit the flag stick and landed in the cup, giving him a miraculous birdie and setting the stage for yet another win over Nicklaus. Watson went on to birdie the 18th as well, for a final margin of two shots. The 17th hole chip-in is regarded as one of the greatest shots in golf history.

A memorable moment in Watson's career came at the 2003 U. S. Open, when, at age 53, he took the opening-round lead by shooting a 65 with his longtime caddy Bruce Edwards carrying his clubs. Bruce Edwards ( November 16, 1954 - April 8, 2004) was a long-time Caddie for Hall of Fame golfer Tom Watson. The latter would succumb to Lou Gehrig's disease on April 8, 2004 at the age of 49. The motor neurone diseases (or motor neuron diseases) (MND are a group of progressive neurological disorders that destroy Motor neurones the cells that control voluntary Events 217 - Roman Emperor Caracalla is Assassinated (and succeeded by his Praetorian "MMIV" redirects here For the Modest Mouse album see " Baron von Bullshit Rides Again "

Watson's stellar play on the PGA Tour faded in the late 1980s when he began to have problems with putting although his tee to green game seemed to actually improve. In 1994 when the British Open returned to Turnberry, the site of his 1977 victory, Watson commented, "Sometimes you lose your desire through the years. Year 1994 ( MCMXCIV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link will display full 1994 Gregorian calendar) The Open Championship, or simply The Open (often referred to as the British Open outside the UK) is the oldest of the four major championships Any golfer goes through that. When you play golf for a living, like anything in your life, you are never going to be constant, at the top. "[3] He finished tied for 11th at the British that year, but he had a revival in the late 1990s and the last of his 39 wins on the PGA Tour came at the 1998 MasterCard Colonial when he was forty eight years old. The Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial is a regular Golf tournament on the PGA Tour. However, he has demonstrated remarkable consistency by making at least one PGA Tour cut per year since 1971, a streak of 37 years. Year 1971 ( MCMLXXI) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full calendar of the 1971 Gregorian calendar.

Watson also missed a two foot putt on the 18th green at the 2007 Masters. He later learned that he missed the cut by only one stroke.

Champions Tour

Watson joined the Champions Tour in 1999, the same year he earned an honorary membership of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews in Scotland. The Champions Tour, a Golf tour run by the PGA Tour, hosts a series of events annually Year 1999 ( MCMXCIX) was a Common year starting on Friday (link will display full 1999 Gregorian calendar) The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews is one of the oldest and most prestigious Golf clubs in the world with the oldest being the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Scotland ( Gaelic: Alba) is a Country in northwest Europethat occupies the northern third of the island of Great Britain. Ironically, St. Andrews is one of the few Open venues where Watson did not claim victory. He has 12 wins on the Champions Tour, including five senior majors. Men's professional senior Golf is for players aged 50 and above Watson was one of two players to play with Jack Nicklaus in the final two rounds of golf in Nicklaus' career, which ended at the 2005 The Open Championship on the Old Course at St Andrews. For his detailed statistics records and other achievements see List of career achievements by Jack Nicklaus. The Open Championship, or simply The Open (often referred to as the British Open outside the UK) is the oldest of the four major championships The Old Course at St Andrews is the oldest Golf course in the world. Englishman Luke Donald was the third member of the group. Biography Born in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, Donald and his brother Christian played junior golf at Hazlemere and Beaconsfield Golf Clubs - Christian now

Having resided for many years in Mission Hills, Kansas, Watson currently resides in Stilwell, Kansas with his wife, two children, and three stepchildren. Mission Hills is a city in Johnson County, Kansas, United States. Stilwell is small unincorporated community in Johnson County in the U He also designed the National Golf Club of Kansas City golf course.

Playing style

During his prime, Watson may have been the most complete golfer ever to play the game. For a man of average size (5 ft 9 in, 160 pounds), he had abundant length coupled with sufficient accuracy, played aggressively, developed a superlative short game, and was a skilled and confident putter. Watson was renowned as the best bad-weather golfer of his era, and displayed much of this gritty talent in the difficult, changeable conditions of the British Open.
