Watson bogeys senior tour debut
WELLY ABOUT
The Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS — Tom Watson's Senior PGA Tour debut was the focus before the Comfort Classic. Gil Morgan's return to the winner's circle turned out to be the story.
Morgan, a winner of six tournments each of the last two years, won his first official event of the year Sunday with a two-shot victory against Ed Dougherty at the Brickyard Crossing course.
Watson, one of five players to share the first-round lead, was never a factor in the final round of his first senior tournament.
Morgan, who was one shot behind leader Mike McCullough entering the final round, used strong iron play in swirling winds for a 3-under 69 that left him at 201 for 54 holes.
"On days like today, it takes a lot of ball control to stay on top of the conditions." Morgan said.
Morgan birdied the first two
holes to take the lead and sealed matters with a scrambling par 5 on No.12. He recovered from a bad approach shot by making a 10-foot putt. McCullough birdied the hole and could have climbed within one shot had Morgan not made his putt.
"That could have been a big swap there, Morgan said. "That probably turned it around."
Morgan didn't have a bogy until the par-4 15th, and by then, no one was close enough to challenge.
Dougherty closed with a 69. Tom Jenkins finished another shot back after a final-round 71.
McCullough, who lost his lead to Morgan's fast start, stayed close until finishing with a double bogey and bogey. He shot a 74 and finished in a fourth-place tie at 205 with J.C. Snead, who had a 67, and Walter Hall, who had a 68.
Watson shot a 3-over 75 Sunday and finished nine shots behind Morgan.
"I'm disappointed and embarrassed at how I played today," said Watson, who turned the 50 on Sept. 4, three days after getting married for the second time. "I did what I wanted to do as far as my life is concerned, but I don't know what else I would have done."
While it's true that Arnold Palmer (1800), Gary Player (1985) and Jack Nicklaus (1990) won their senior debuts, three notable players did not. Lee Trevino (1989) was seventh in his first outing, Raymond Floyd (1992) was sixth, and Hale Irwin (1995). was fourth, Irwin, who did not compete this week, has become the senior tour's top player.
Watson wasn't alone. In contrast to the first two days, where sub-70 rounds were the norm, just nine players broke 70 Sunday, and one one finished better than Joe Inman, whose 67 helped him tie for seventh at 206.
"We have a great winner," said McCullough, who shot a course record-62 Saturday.
