I only birdied 17 once and I remember every bit of it! Yes, I was saying that in jest. They both made great shots. That bunker shot on 18 that English made from a plugged lie by the lip was amazing to get the ball as close as he did to save par. Hickok made some great par putts. However, after playing 18 seven times today, I would think that a birdie putt would have come a lot sooner. 2 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middler Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Some playoff. Both made so many crucial putts, but they both seem like they were playing defense vs offense - understandable under the circumstances. It was fun for a couple holes, but I have to admit at about the 7th playoff hole I was ready for it to be over. Thank goodness it didn't go past 8 holes. Great exhibition by both, and Hickok's day should come soon, he handled the pressure extremely well.

Probably would have ended the playoff a lot sooner. nothing dumber than playing the same hole 6 times in an 8 hole playoff. Poor Kramer barely lipped out 2 winning putts. Man that's gotta sting. 3 Quote I got something to say then I'm gonna say it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigUrsus Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I get playing holes based on where fans were already. Maybe they can cap holes in the future? Play a playoff hole 2-3 times max. 18, 18, 17, 17, etc. Add some variety. Change the tees? Really any variety would have been nice. 3 Quote Driver: Rogue Sub Zero 10.5* Oban Kiyoshi Gold tipped 1" 44.5" NDMC Mid 4w: Epic flash Oban Kiyoshi Gold tipped 2" 42.5" NDMC Mid 3-PW: MP-18, 3i FLYhi MMC, 4-6i MMC, 7-PW MB, KBS C-taper Lite X-stiff NDMC Mid Wedges: SM7 49*F, 54*D, 59*M KBS C-taper Lite X-stiff NDMC Mid Putter: Lajosi Sensor Breakthrough Golf Tour Stability Shaft 34" SuperStroke GTR 1.0 Ball: MTB-X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
