Morning all,
Just sat in on a Tom Watson press conference as he prepares to become the first 61-year-old to lift the Claret Jug. Okay, probably not, but he was on good form, so in honour of the five-time Open champion, decked head to toe in autumnal shades with just a hint of tartan, I thought I'd put together a little multiple guess quiz based on some of the things he told us. The winner will received a small prize specially selected from the merchandise tent by yours truly.
Email your answers to the following questions to jezz_ellwood@ipcmedia.com (just two letters and a number please) and you could be in with a shout. To decide any ties, please also let me know where you think Thomas Sturges Watson will finish this week. Even if you think he'll miss the cut, I still need a position (e.g 123rd rather than just MC). Hope this makes sense, and here are the questions
1. Which St Andrews course did Tom Watson play for the first time last year?
A - Castle
B - Balgove
C - Himalayas putting green
2. How did Tom Watson make £350 in the 1981 Open?
A - from an each way bet on Ray Floyd having played with him in practice
B - His official earnings for finishing T23rd
C - Renting out a spare room in his house for the week to a fellow competitor
3. When Tom Watson, Graeme McDowell, Ian Poulter and Camilo Villegas surprised four golfers on the 17th tee at Sawgrass during a Mastercard shoot, how many of those four guys hit the green with the tour pros watching?

I appreciate that this will be a wild stab in the dark for everyone, but someone has to win. Good luck!
