		Having said that, this week's Memorial Tournament, the event he hosts at his own Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, is not going to be his farewell to tournament golf.

		In fact, with a 4- under-par 67 at Valhalla Golf Club Thursday, which put him atop the field with three-time Senior PGA winner Hale Irwin, Jay Haas, and Gil Morgan, Watson is continuing an inspiring run of contention in senior majors.
		Of course, he's been proficient in putting himself in position to win; dating back to last year's U.S. Senior Open, Watson has held or shared the lead in eight of the last 17 rounds in senior majors.
		A slight change in his swing, in which he rotates his left arm more on the takeaway, worked well for him as he hit 11 of 14 fairways -- which was crucial when playing lift, clean and place on the rain- soaked Valhalla layout -- and 12 of 18 greens in regulation.
