Big advantage Tiger - on the correct side of the fairway vs. Rocco in the trap on the bad side.

14 minutes to meeting. This is sudden death, right…not a 3-hole deal?

Tiger a full inch in the fairway. Rocco in fairway trap. Big advantage Tiger.

Yeah…sudden death.

Tiger in the right side of the fairway, Rocco is in the bunker and likely has to lay up out of it, from where he is.

Crap. Rocco is wayyyyyyy left. This will be it.

Rocco puled his bunker shot into the grandstand.

Unless Tiger flat chokes, this is over.

Ouch…here comes Tiger from 156. I think he closes it out here.

Game Over

Time for a Rocco chip-in from the grandstand…

Tiger lands his approach about 15-20 feet from the pin. He’ll have a longish birdie putt.

Tiger 15 feet below the hole. Rocco needs to flip it over a bunker to a short pin with a hardpan lie.

It’s midnight Cinderella. Unless you can pull out a miracle, this is over.

Tiger won’t 3 putt from there.

15 to 20 feet is a tap in

Ahhh…the underappreciated art of dropping a golf ball.

The link I posted at the top of this page has a much better play by play than I could ever give.

The way these guys are shooting they should have just made a teebox, some bunkers, and a green… they aren’t using the fairway much.

Rocco gets his 3rd shot on the green, but has about 20 ft for par.

But it’s waaaay slower.

Not over yet. Rocco could jar that one for par and Tiger isn’t in the hole by any means.
