British co-leader Watson still getting his kicks at 59

Fifty-nine is one of the magic numbers in the game of golf. In fact, it may be the most magical of all numbers associated with this great game and on Friday, in the second round of the 138th British Open at Turnberry, Tom Watson introduced the magic number of 59 to major championship golf. Watson, who owns five Claret Jugs, posted a second round score of even-par 70 to share the halfway lead with American Steve Marino atop the leader board of the 2009 British Open at 5-under par.
