This Day in Golf History: July 27

Padraig Harrington takes a two-stroke lead into today’s final round of the ISPS Handa Senior Open Championship at Sunningdale. On this date in 2003, one of the most successful links players in golf history, Tom Watson, won the Senior Open, taking down England’s Carl Mason in a playoff at Turnberry. Watson parred the second playoff hole to defeat Mason for his 10th career major victory. Watson shot a six-under-par 64 but bogeyed the last hole of regulation.
