“. Zoeller trailed Hale Irwin by a stroke with a round to play, shot an even-par 70 on Sunday despite an uneven round that saw him make four birdies in succession on the front nine and no birdies and three bogeys on the back. Zoeller’s performance left him tied with Greg Norman and a date the following day in an 18-hole playoff, with Zoeller winning with ease. Zoeller shot a 3-under 67, the lowest 18-hole playoff score in U.S. Open history, to cruise to an eight-shot triumph.”
This leaves out the best moments. Fuzzy watched from the fairway as Norman made a long putt to tie Fuzzy on the 18 hole of regulation play. Fuzzy waved a towel in mock surrender and recognition. The next day Fuzzy won the 18 hole playoff by 8 strokes. Norman waved a towel at Fuzzy late in the day in recognition of Fuzzy’s accomplishment.
Excellent “ring psychology” as they call it in fake wrestling. Caused Norman to choke. Sad that they’ve make it a 2-hole playoff now. Prefer Monday morning 18 hole drama.
