We’re going extras… again

June
16

So a sudden-death playoff isn’t what the USGA wants after the fourth round, but it’s good enough following an 18-hole playoff? Interesting.

Anyway, Tiger Woods just drained a four-footer for birdie on the 18th hole to force a playoff with Rocco Mediate. He took his time studying the putt, but was there ever a doubt he would make it?

They are going to the par-4 7th for the playoff. Another interesting choice. Woods made birdie there today while Mediate made par. We’ll see what happens the second time around.

    Unbelievable finish. Wish Tiger had won by making that last putt, though. It’s always better when you win by making on than by the other guy missing his.

His golf writing goes back to his college days when he attended Wake Forest University. Myers is also an avid player who is constantly trying to improve on his current handicap of 8. Perhaps his biggest thrill came earlier this summer when he conquered the famed 17th hole at the TPC at Sawgrass by hitting a 9-iron onto the island green and walking away with a 2-putt par.
