68th
Senior PGA Championship a Success
May, 2007 - Denis Watson of Zimbabwe took
advantage of Eduardo Romero's late mistakes to win the Senior PGA
Championship. Watson won his first title in 23 years and became
the first international player to win the Senior PGA since Gary
Player in 1990. Romero of Argentina had handled The Ocean Course's
famed sand dunes and Atlantic gusts the best of anyone the first
three days. He was still ahead by two shots after birdies on the
11th and 12th holes which pushed him to 10 under. Then, aiming at
a pin tucked on the back left of the 14th green, his ball plugged
while Watson stuck his shot to a dozen feet. Romero had to take
an unplayable lie and double bogeyed while Watson drained his
birdie putt for a three shot swing en route to an ultimate two-stroke
victory.
