	Tom Watson (golfer) Summary
		In the 1970s and 1980s he was one of the leading players in the world, winning eight major championships and heading the PGA Tour money list five times.
		A lifelong golfer (first gaining local renown while on his high school team at The Pembroke-Country Day School in Kansas City), Watson began his golf career in 1971, the same year he graduated from Stanford University, where he was a member of Alpha Sigma Phi Fraternity, with a degree in psychology.

		The rules of golf [1] are internationally standardised and are jointly governed by the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews (RandA), which was founded 1754 and the United States Golf Association (USGA).
