With his memorable run at this past year’s British Open still fresh in people’s memory, Tom Watson has put on another tremendous performance winning the 2010 Mitsubshi Electric Championship in Hualalai, Hawaii. Defeating Champions Tour debutant Fred Couples by a single stroke shooting a 64 on Sunday. The title was bittersweet for the 60-year-old who captured the attention of the sports’ world in Ayrshire turning back the clocks to his major-winning days before falling in a playoff to Stewart Cink. However, in Hualalai the American finished with a inspiring back nine featuring five birdies inching his way over Couples on the final hole. Watson was coming off a recent Skins game victory with fellow golf great Jack Nicklaus in Kaanapali, Hawaii at the Wendy’s Champions Skins Game. The victory also holds special significance to Watson as the Kansas City native recently purchased a home in Hualalai. Golf fans will see if Tom Watson can continue his renaissance as the rest of the 2010 Champions Tour season plays out.
