Work on NBC announcing crew ANSWERS: 1-I; 2-F; 3-D; 4-H; 5-B; 6-G; 7-C; 8-A; 9-E PARTY OF TWO Usually apolitical, Tom Watson (below right) and Andy North lobbied hard to get the Legends of Golf to revert from an individual competition to the two-man format it had from 1978 until 2002. With their wish granted last week, the duo shot a 13-under 59 in the first round, won their fourth straight Legends title (they took crowns in the unofficial Raphael division in 2005, '06 and '07) and extended their bogeyless streak to 162 holes. Now Watson and North are back to politicking. "I've been telling [ Ryder Cup captain] Paul Azinger that maybe his guys can't play teams, but we can," Watson says with a chuckle. "He ought to be thinking about [selecting us]." Follow the seniors during the FedEx Kinko's Classic at GOLF.com.
