At -12 however Phil at least had a shot. Spilled milk now of course. I think the reason why the Masters doesn’t have that 3-4 hole non-sudden death format is because it gets dark there around 7:30-8:00, while at the British Open you can have daylight until 10 pm or so. ---

They go back to 18. ---

I’m picking Cabrera. He’s got a major already and Perry seems to be too tight. Campbell is good but the pressure is going to be immense with three guys on the tee box. See, I told you. ---

> [@Zakalwe](#): > > I thought the PGA had gone to sudden death. Regardless, my point was that with the US Open, there is no playoff at all on Sunday. The leaders simply come back Monday morning and play a full 18 holes to determine the winner. > > And we have a three-way playoff - Cabrera, Campbell, and Perry. The PGA Championship went to sudden death in 1977 (I watched that one in person at Pebble Beach, between Lanny Wadkins and a visibly tiring Gene “the Machine” Littler). However, in 2000 or thereabouts, they went to a three-hole format. Tiger beat Bob May using that format that year. The reason I brought them up is because your post seemed to imply that the only alternative to a sudden-victory playoff is a full-day playoff, only used by the USGA. ---

Heh, after someone shouted “GET IN THE HOLE” after Campbell’s second shot, the BBC commentator said: “I wish someone would throttled that man!” ---

Analogizing Tiger to the Lions is enough to drop a jaw in confusion. :eek:😛 I mean the Lions would love to hope to be half of what Tiger is.
