Really cannot plan a better finish. Why didn't Tyler take a drop from the red

Oh man!! What a shot.  Advantage Strafaci!

 

Clutch.  Curious why he didn't take a drop from the red stake when he over shot the green?  No place within a club length from point of entry no closer to the hole?

Great event, congratulations to Tyler!  Pretty amazing to add your name 85 years after your grandfather.

The one from the bunker that he bladed in?

I guess he figured a miracle out and make the putt would give him 5.  And maybe Ollie 3 putts

Niether option was great.  But he overcame it

Yeah it was. Feel bad for Ollie.  Would have liked to see him make that last putt.

Yes, that shot.  I would have taken my chances with a clean lie and a possible hole out.

Also kind of the same wit Brisbane's dad, when he was assessed a penality yesterday for the ball moving after he began his takeaway.  The offiical--Ivan Lendel's daughter by the way----did a great job of explaning it to him.  it doesn't mattter how far away his club was in the backswing when it moved, if his initial actions caused it.  Which it apprantely did.  TV view was knd of blurry. 

I think this is the danger of having fathers as caddies, they are too emotonally involved to remain calm and understand where their place is.  You can go all the way back to Matt Kuchar's father during his rounds at Augusta when Kuchar played as an Amatuer.  He was a distaction to the other caddies and playes, and wasnt following protocol in several instanes. 

Should be a good match.  I'll be happy for either kid to win,. 

Lendl's daughters all played in the Scott Robertson Memorial Junior event in Roanoke, Virginia when I was a tournament volunteer.  Marika won the 15-18 division in 2004 and Isabelle won the 15-18 division in 2006 and 2007.  They were incredibly polite and kind to all of us.  Ivan was always encouraging and positive and never pushed his daughters in any way I could see.

Ivan Lendl and his daughter used to play/practice @ Torrington CC in CT years ago. She has great game.
