Almost There

Well, Old Tom Watson almost made the miracle happen. He lost the British Open in a four hole play off. That was sad. He played so well, and was such a great sport..he obviously really wanted to win when he found himself leading and so close to winning. Now why do I feel bad and sad for him. He just finished second in a major tournament at the age of 59, when most people are finished with competitive sports. Second, that is great..how many men would love to be second in the British Open!!!
But gracious in defeat, that is what I saw in him yesterday. Gracious, but not happy with himself.
If we do the best we can, that is all we can ask. That and being gracious no matter what the outcome.
