Tom Watson says goodbye to the Open in darkness at St Andrews

 Five-time British Open Champion Tom Watson said goodbye to St. Andrews and the Open today, as he walks over Swilcan Bridge one final time...

Tom Watson was almost overcome by emotion after bringing down the curtain on his Open career at St Andrews.

The five-time Open champion bade farewell to the event with which he is synonymous with a poignant walk up to the 18th green at St Andrews at close to 10pm on Friday.
The 65-year-old was close to tears as crowds gathered to applaud him from almost all available vantage points at the end of what had been a difficult, rain-affected second round day at the Open.
