Tom Watson waves from atop the Swilcan Bridge at the 2010 British Open (I've resisted the urge to lighten the image because that's just how dark it was when Watson finished his second round play).
Watson said his goodbye to St. Andrews this day. Like many American golfers, Watson wasn't enamored with The Old Course when he first played it. "St. Andrews, when I first played here, I didn't like it," Watson said in 2010. "But I learned to like it. And, eventually, to love it."
His appearance in the 2010 British Open was likely Watson's last in St. Andrews, but he plans to play the tournament at least a few more times.
Watson never won an Open played at St. Andrews - but he did win five of them played elsewhere.
