Fans touched when Tom Watson leaves egg-salad sandwich at Masters for former caddie
Tom Watson showed Friday why he is beloved.
Watson continued a tradition like no other at the Masters, which is known as the tradition like no other. In honor of his former caddie, Bruce Edwards, who died in 2004, Watson left an egg-salad sandwich on the 13th tee box, the final hole of Amen Corner.
People were impressed by Watson’s act:

Tom Watson just left a sandwich on the 13th T for his caddy who passed away and they always used to eat an egg sarnie on 13th. What a guy.
