If only his putt from just outside the fringe had been four feet less aggressive...and he hadn't totally choked his putt to win.
If only Stewart Cink had not sunk a 12 foot putt on the 72nd hole.

It was a terrific Open Championship and splendid performance by the 59-year old Watson.
If only golf tournaments were 71 holes.
If only.
