In a few words – class act.
Those were the comments made by Fircrest's Ken Still on Saturday afternoon, when asked about his impressions about playing with Tom Watson, the 59-year-old who leads the British Open after 54 holes at Turnberry in Scotland.
Still said he played with Watson "about eight times" in the latter stages of his PGA Tour career, when Watson was a 20-something out of Kansas City who attended Stanford University.
The longtime pro from Tacoma said after the completion of the third round, he phoned Jack Nicklaus at his home in Florida to talk about the tournament. Nicklaus said he normally doesn't watch golf on television, but rather plays a "couple of sets" of tennis instead.
But Nicklaus said he stayed tuned into the action Saturday, and would see if Watson can complete the impossible, becoming the oldest golfer in history to win a major championship.
University of Washington senior Nick Taylor came in to the 2009 as the No. 1 ranked amateur in the world.
And he then proceeded to take the No. 1 seed from stroke play all the way to the 36-hole championship finals Saturday against left-hander Brad Benjamin.
From there, Benjamin did the rest, rocking Taylor, 7-and-6, in the finals at the Jimmmie Austion OU Golf Club in Norman, Okla.
This week: PGA Tour's U.S. Bank Championship of Milwaukee, Thursday through Sunday, Brown Deer Park Golf Course, Milwaukee, Wis.
Kelly's third-round score: 3-over-par 73.
Stanley's third-round score: 1-over 71.
Position: Stanley (2-under 208) is tied for 50th, and Kelly (4-over 214) missed the cut after the third round. Frank Lickliter II leads at 199.
Recap: "Moving day" was "Sinking Day" for the Pierce County golfers. Stanley, of Gig Harbor, had three bogeys in his first 10 holes to start 3-over. He did rally with four back-nine birdies. … Kelly, a Tacoma resident, actually got to even-par for the tournament after making a 17-foot birdie putt on the par-3 third hole. But five bogeys came thereafter.
Stanley's tee time Sunday: 7:59 a.m. PDT with Tim Herron.
