What's the secret behind Tom Watson's continuing success?

Question

Okay, he didn't win at the Dubai Desert Classic, but he played well enough to figure in the top ten - better than younger stars like Paul Casey and Ross Fisher.

Answer 1

Some suggest that Watson's hip replacement has actually helped to keep his swing smoother than if he'd never needed the operation. Others think that Watson's near victory at last year's Open have reawakened his appetite for success, and he's desperate to finish his sporting career on a high - as good as he is, the man is 60 years old now, and he can't keep playing forever.
