At this United States Open, Tom Watson is equal parts curator and competitor. He played the course a dozen times while he was a student at Stanford, made his professional debut in 1972 at the regular P.G.A. Tour stop here and has graced every Open that the course has hosted.
Nobody in this year’s field knows the course better. Watson, the 1982 Open champion when it was held here, has been coming to Pebble Beach for so long, he remembers when the green fees were $15. It costs $495 to play the course now.
