Anyone hear Howell III use the line from "Happy Gilmore", during the
playoff? Howell III said, "Somebody learned how to putt."
This was by far the WORST short game display from Lefty that I've ever
seen in the clutch!

Was it just me or did he seem to hurry a couple of pitch shots at near the end?

He putted it from the fringe and the ball took a very bad hop just before it
got on the green ... that's why he was so short. He played similar shot on
#18 in playoff from ~50' and knocked it to 6". I'd say he was unlucky on
that bounce.

The wife and I saw that shot and as he was setting up I turned to her
and said "He is crazy to use a putter out of that Kikuyu." That stuff
is nasty especially with a soft shot like he had. I would have used a pw
or 9, old lofts, to just clear the fringe.
I suspect that was the problem with the previous hole where he lobbed
one up and caught the fringe and the ball took a 90 deg left. It would
have been a great shot if it had been 8-10 inches longer. Then it would
have caught the green and eased left because the grass wouldn't grab it
so hard. A good shot choice but he caught it a little fat.
I did not see a replay but those were my instant observations.
