Senior PGA Championship

Editor | June 1, 2011

The 72nd Annual Senior PGA Championship presented by KitchenAid was held at The Valhalla Golf Club May 24 – 29. Tom Watson, 61, earned the championship title –his second – along with $360,000 and the Alfred S. Bourne Trophy.

Watson admitted to feeling nervous as he walked up to the 18th hole deadlocked against David Eger. But then the 61-year-old told himself: “Let’s go take care of business.”And he did.
