KANSAS CITY, Mo. — One morning during Tom Watson’s senior year (1966-1967) at Kansas City's Pembroke Country Day, Kansas City Chiefs icon Len Dawson was a guest speaker at the school now known as Pembroke Hill.
Watson still remembers the time of the assembly, 8:10 a.m., and his conversation afterward with Dawson.
He already was a golfer of enough renown that Dawson knew who he was when Watson approached and told Dawson he was playing quarterback for the football team.
