Time for More Old-Timers

Tom Watson, a 59-year-old, came within an eight-foot putt of winning the British Open Sunday, which got me thinking…

What other old-timers might be up for making professional comebacks?

What the Heck is Going on at the British Open?

Except for betting my life, I would have wagered anything that Tiger Woods would make the cut at this week’s British Open.

Then again, I’m pretty sure I would have done the same thing if you were to tell me 59-year-old Tom Watson would be the tournament’s co-leader (-5) after 36 holes.

This means one of two things: either I know very little (quite possible), or the 2009 British Open has some of the most shocking storylines in major history.

In case you missed it, Woods shot a disappointing 71 on Thursday, only to follow it with a hideous 74, including a five-hole stretched he played +7, to miss the cut by a stroke. Watson, a five-time British Open champion but long past his prime, opened with a blistering 65 followed by a rock-solid 70 that featured one long drained putt after another.

So which feat is more unbelievable?

Platform: PSP
Price: $29.99
In Stores: Now
 
Golf is sometimes so serious. With the game’s everybody-be-quiet attitude, slow pace, and dull fashions, the sport is in dire need of some flash and fire. Enter the world of Pangya. Note the words "Fantasy Golf" in the title. That's because this game takes place a very, very long way from the back nine at Bethpage Black.

My Tale from "Bethpage Brown"

It’s hard to motivate yourself to get out of bed when it’s 5:30 in the morning and the weatherman has called for rain all day.

Luckily, I had a little adrenaline flowing through my veins to give me the extra push I needed this past Sunday morning: a ticket to the 2009 U.S. Open Championship!

Who Could Tame Tiger at the U.S. Open?

Picking Tiger Woods to win a golf tournament is kind of like picking the sun to come up in the morning.

Anyone can do it. Which is why I’ve decided to go against the grain.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about Tiger. After watching his thrilling comeback at The Memorial two weeks ago, I’d be surprised if someone not named Eldrick Woods wins this week’s U.S. Open at the Bethpage Black Course.

But for the sake of discussion, here are five golfers not named after a cat who I think could surprise some people…

So Many Games, So Little Time...

If the Sports Gamer learned anything from his E3 experience last week, it's that this medium is only getting bigger and better with each passing year. And it's not going away anytime soon. There are so many grade-A awesome sports games heading our way in the coming days, that unless I clone myself, I'm not sure how I'm going to play all of them.

Pangya: Fantasy Golf (CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW!)
Preview: Golf video games don't always need to feature real-world physics or pixel-perfect recreations of the back nine at Pebble Beach to be great. This little UMD takes more than a few liberties with the sport by featuring colorful characters and colorful environments.
