ST. ANDREWS, Scotland – Mark Calcavecchia said so long to The Old Course on his terms.
So what that he shot 83-82 to miss the cut by a mile. The 1989 Champion Golfer of the Year hit the opening tee shot of Friday’s second round at 6:35 a.m. local time, and strode across the Swilcan Bridge one last time. Making his 31st appearance in the world’s oldest championship, he conceded the moment got the better of him.
“I’m not sure what I was expecting, but I felt it. I felt the emotions,” Calcavecchia said. “Got a little mildly choked up.”
