Anyone else see the amazing finish to the Frys.com Open yesterday on the Golf Channel?

Trailing by one stroke to Bettencourt, who was looking at a 25 foot birdie putt, D.A. Points holed his second from 124 yards out on 18. Bettencourt proved his mettle by cooly sinking the putt to force a playoff on the same hole. Points won the tourney by hitting almost exactly the same approach, this time form 122 out on 18, to within six feet.

One of the more exciting finishes I've seen to these late season tournaments.

That wasn't the Frys.com Open. 'Twas the Miccosukee Championship...

http://www.pgatour.com/2008/tourname...608/index.html And no, I missed it. I did watch the end of the Frys.com Open, though. Sutherland had two 10-footers to win and missed both.

I saw the replay of it. That was an amazing shot. And yeah Erik I was watching the Frys.com Open, and I was in awe at how Sutherland missed both of those putts, and then hit a bad shot on the second playoff hole. Dissapointing.

DA Points hit two amazing shots to win that tourney. I was very impressed with how both players handled it, I think that part of the reason that Bettencourt handled it so well was it shored up his PGA card for next year and that is the goal being on the Nationwide circuit, to get your tour card.

    • Oh man I had one today. Ball below and I still chilli dipped it!!
    • Playing Cog Hill #2 yesterday with @cedrictheo and @NatalieB… we get to the par-three 7th, a 185-yard (or 145-yard) par three. There's a St. Judge Million Dollar Shot challenge on the hole if you choose to participate. The rules: $20 entry Hit the green, get your $20 back. Hit it to ≤ 10 feet, get $50 back. Hit it to ≤ 3 feet, get $100 back. Hit it in the hole, get $10,000 back. (No, I don't know where the "million dollar" bit comes from). We all decline, though in hindsight I wish I had just given him $20 for our group and said "keep it, please." I step up… and hit it to 30". @cedrictheo steps up… hits it to about 40". @NatalieB steps up… and we both tell her how bad she sucks, how terrible she is, etc. because she hits it to about nine and a half feet. 😄  If we had all entered we'd have won between $110 and $140. Ha ha. (I'm still glad we didn't as that would have been TAKING money from charity.) Anyway, three really good shots on a tough hole. The guy running the challenge must have thought we were nuts. He said "Man, you guys really should have entered!" 😄

    • These are a great grip, played with them for years, although I just switched to the Golf Pride CPX, which I really like as well.
