Every fairway is roped

"Every fairway is roped. We've got marshals on every hole," Probyn said. "It's probably true to say that we do not use professional security in the same way as they do on the PGA Tour." He also said the European Tour was trying to adapt to spectators using mobile phones and other gadgets on a daily basis. "It's kind of reality wherever you go," he added. "It is then about educating people. How to use them and where to use them, and that's something that you'll see changing over the short to middle term." Watson said he came to Europe to experience a new culture. "The reason to come over here was just to experience it," Watson said this week before the start of the tournament. "I've played on the U.S. Tour the whole time and just wanted to come over here, just to experience a different culture, a different life, a different golf, a different atmosphere." But soon Watson felt homesick after carding a 3-over 74 in the first round. "I miss my home," Watson said Thursday. Some of the most famous landmarks in the world apparently didn't stick with him after touring Paris on Tuesday. "I don't know the names of all the things, the big tower, Eiffel Tower, an arch (Arc de Triomphe), whatever I rode around in a circle," he said. "And then what's that -- it starts with an 'L' -- Louvre, something like that. One of those." After saying it might be his last time playing in Europe, Watson said he would play the British Open in two weeks. He wasn't sure if he would fulfill his commitment to play the Scandinavian Masters in Sweden. "I'll play the British Open because it's a major, that's the only reason," Watson said. "I'm going to go sightseeing real quick and then probably sightsee tomorrow (and) get home as fast as possible."
