Tom Watson Shoots One Below His Age With...A BB-8 Ball!?
/Heading into Saturday's Mitsubishi Electric Saturday final round, Tom Watson is two back after posting a 7-under par 65, one better than his age. Watson hasn't won on the Champions Tour since 2011 and chases Duffy Waldorf, Davis Love, Tom Pernice and Tom Lehman.
Even better, he did it with what Mark Rolfing called a "FIFA ball" during round one when Watson dropped a long putt.

According to ClubUpGolf, it's Callaway's Truvis pattern technology which AJ Voepel explains "is specifically designed to maximize your view of the golf ball for better focus and visibility."
FIFA, Truvis, eh, I prefer the BB-8 vibe picked up by Stewart Armstrong:
