Lehman Last Man Standing in Senior PGA
Lehman did win the Senior PGA Championship along with a high-rise condo-sized trophy and $360,000 check that goes with it.
Senior golf is its best when on a first-name basis -- and talk about names you know by heart: Along with Lehman, Couples and Frost, the leaderboard had Mark O'Meara and Nick Price.
It was golf you didn't want to miss (golf wholesale). Oddly enough, it quickly was followed by a playoff that made you want to turn away.
"I think I had an advantage from the start because I had just finished," Lehman said. "The longer you have to wait I think the tougher it gets to play in a playoff. So David Frost obviously ... I wouldn't say the deck was stacked against him, but he had a longer, more uphill battle (Callaway X-22 Iron Set). I guess he finished such a long time before we did.
"Fred had to wait a half an hour. I just basically finished, signed my card and went back and hit again. And I think being No. 1 off the tee, I was really hoping that I would get the first pick, so I could hit first. I think if you miss that fairway the hole becomes much more difficult."
"I didn't hit a great drive," Frost said. "The wind's quite strong right-to-left. I didn't have enough guts to aim it way out right and bring it back like Tom did (Ping G15 Driver). But I won't let one hole bother me when I played so many good holes out there yesterday and today."
Couples, who on the final hole of regulation missed badly on a seven-foot birdie attempt that would have won, was even worse off the tee. He went even further left than Frost, saw his ball come to rest under a bunch of trees and took an unplayable lie. He also carded a double-bogey 6.
With pretty much no pressure, Lehman stopped his approach shot 12 feet from the hole and finished with a tap-in for an easy par.
After congratulating Lehman, Couples put his head down and stomped quickly to the clubhouse, where he grabbed a couple of irons out of his locker and bolted for the parking lot.
"It feels wonderful," Lehman said. "I'm a very consistent player, basically I've always been pretty steady, and conditions like this have always worked in my favor (Titleist Pro V1 Ball). I normally hit it solid, which you need to do in the wind. So a championship like this, really, it kind of works right into my wheelhouse.
"To kind of hang in there -- which was what it was -- I started off poorly and just kind of hung in there and I made a couple birdies and then I got in a playoff."
