RYE, N.Y. -- Tom Watson, who won eight major golf tournaments, including five British Open Championships, during his PGA career, has joined the field for the Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship to be held August 18-21 at Westchester Country Club. Watson, who is competing in his 34th British Open this week, has won 14 times since joining the Champions Tour in 1999.
Its terrific we are going back there to play and Im really looking forward to it, Watson said. I like Westchester because the greens have an elevation and you have a few blind shots. Its really a good golf course because of the variety of shots you have to hit. And I remember they had the best hot dogs in the world down the right side of No. 5.
Watsons experience on the Harrison course includes eight top 10 finishes, including a runner-up finish to David Graham in 1976 in PGA tours Westchester Classic (now known as The Barclays). Defending champion Mark OMeara, David Frost, Bob Gilder, Jay Haas, Hale Irwin, Tom Kite, Loren Roberts, Scott Simpson, Bob Tway, Bobby Wadkins and D.A. Weibring join Watson in the event.
