Watson Ends PGA Bid In Hopeful Weekend Run
Otisville Ky AP Tom Watson a 50 year old Senior PGA Tour golfer shot 65 on Saturday but despite a late surge he remains far behind Tiger Woods in the Valhalla PGA Championship. He chipped in for birdie and made long birdie putts but did not overcome the early deficit. Watson reflects on a career without a PGA title in majors and notes his continued competitive drive against younger players. He was invited due to lack of other qualification and plans to keep competing on the senior circuit.

Snead lends name to plan for Braxton County course
Braxton County developer John Skidmore teams with golf legend Sam Snead to build an 18 hole Sam Snead signature golf course near Flatwoods. The project on 180 to 185 acres aims to lure upscale visitors and include a residential community with construction possibly starting in late fall or spring and a hoped opening before 2002. Snead, pro emeritus at The Greenbrier, could boost a proposed West Virginia golf trail similar to Alabama's Robert Trent Jones Trail.
