Growing Old Is Hard to Do

Because I am one year older than Tom Kite, I was rooting for him to win the Booz Allen Classic and become the oldest winner in PGA Tour history. I assume everybody over 50 in the country was rooting for Kite. But in my heart I didn't think Kite would win. I don't even think Kite thought he would win. There was something ominous in Kite's comment Saturday after the third round, when he joked that if this was the senior tour, he'd already have won. They play only three rounds at most senior tournaments. Surely, Kite suspected he didn't have a fourth straight great round in him anymore.
