2011 John Deere Classic - Page 3

I had to watch a P2P stream from Spain.

If you were listening and not watching, you'd think that Stricker's last 2 shots weren't any good. 

That was a ridiculous way to win a tournament. Stricker can putt. 

I was watching the end. I turned on the TV and saw Stricker was down by 2 shots with 2 holes to play, and I was thinking, "Why did he have to give the lead up?" Then I saw him make that chip on 17...it was a good chip but still a fairly long putt. At that point I was thinking, "He's not going to make it. He blew it." When he made it I was pumped. I was rooting for him at that point. 

Then at 18 when I saw Stanley drive into the trees...I got a little happier. But when Stricker hit his tee shot into the bunker on the left, I thought it was over...all Stanley had to do was make par...at that point, I didn't think Steve Stricker had any chance at making birdie. 

Then I watched Stanley miss that par putt...and got really excited. Then I was just hoping for Stricker to make a par to force a playoff. When I saw him aiming directly over the water, I got really worried and nervous, because that's a tough shot to pull off. I thought he would just aim a little short of the green, or the front right of the green. But he hit that and I was really excited when it stopped just over the green. But still, I thought he had no chance to make that putt. I was just hoping the ball would stop within a few feet, hoping for it not to fly by with those fast green conditions.

I saw it go up and over the ridge and onto the green, and I said to myself "It's going in!" because it looked perfectly on line. And in it went and I was fist pumping just like Stricker!
