Watson in contention at Travelers
Even par after the completion of the first round Friday, Slocum's second-round score tied for the third-best in the tournament. D.J. Trahan shot 62 to close the second day of the event while the surprise leader entering the weekend, 19-year-old amateur Patrick Cantlay, shot a course-record 10-under 60. Cantlay's round pushed him to 13 under for the tournament and set the record for lowest round ever on the PGA Tour by an amateur.Watson Of The Pga - News

Tom Watson wins Senior PGA in sudden death - Tours & News - Golf.com
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Tom Watson had stood over putts like this pressure-packed 3-footer at the Senior PGA Championship for most of his adult life.
Why dawdle?
"I didn't take much time with the putt," he said with that famous toothy grin. "I took one practice stroke and figured, 'Let's get this over with.'"
Watson summoned up some of his old major magic, holing the short birdie putt on the first playoff hole to beat David Eger on Sunday.
The 61-year-old Watson, down a shot with four holes left in regulation, became the oldest player to win a major since the senior tour was created in 1980. He also became the second-oldest winner of the Senior PGA, behind only Jock Hutchison who was 62 in 1947.
"If this is the last tournament I ever win, it's not a bad one," Watson said. "I'm kind of on borrowed time out here at 61."
Watson became the third-oldest winner of a Champions Tour event. The victory came 10 years, 2 days after he won his other Senior PGA Championship at Ridgewood Country Club in 2001.
Watson may be well past his prime, but there have been very few players in history as good at sealing the deal with the outcome teetering on the brink.
Few realize that more than Eger, who worked closely with Watson and the other giants of the game in the 1980s and 1990s as a rules official.
"I watched a lot of Trevino, Watson, Irwin - a lot of great players from the golf cart," he said. "And I got to really appreciate just how good they were - and they still are."
Watson closed with a 2-under 70 to finish at 10-under 278 and capture his 14th career major, six since turning 50 to go with five British Opens, two Masters and a U.S. Open.
"Coming into the tournament I really didn't give myself any chance based on the way I was practicing last week in Kansas City," he said. "But the light switch went on."
A club rep pointed out a subtle change in his swing. From there, it was bad news for the rest of the field.
"Lo and behold, I started making good swings again," he said, as if he were surprised.
Perhaps better known as a rules official than as a player, Eger closed with a 67.
Both Eger and Watson missed short birdie putts on the 72nd green that would have won for either in regulation, Eger pulling a 6-footer and Watson pushing one from 4 feet.
Watson went for the green with his rescue-club second shot on the playoff hole, the 18th, but it came up short and in the deep and gaping bunker that fronts the green.
