OT: The Players - incredible finish shaping up

[RU848789]

Fowler shoots 67 to get to -12. Sergio was at -10 on 16 and then he birdied 16 and the island green 17, with an amazing 45 foot putt. Sergio on 18 just had a 15-footer to get to -13, but missed it and finishes at -12 to tie Fowler. Martin also just birdied 16 and 17 to get to -12 and Haas and Kisner are also at -11 with 1 or 2 to play. Some incredible shot-making going on - should be a great finish.

I'm watching on my IPad on my deck, have my Bose remote speakers going, while I look at the laptop sipping a Vodka/Collins. Beautiful Sunday, now 4 at -12 !!! . Glad I took care of Mothers Day yesterday and brunch today. Now just have to pack for a biz trip to Chicago tomorrow morning. (Dinner at Gibsons Steakhouse tomorrow night!)

We got a playoff. Kisner just misses after getting a great read from opponent.

First aggregate playoff in Players history.

Kisner's putt was so close. Back to 16, 17 & 18.

Without Tiger in the hunt, it's just not the same. I will catch it later on TGC.

 

[RU848789]

Yeah, really thought Kisner's putt on 18 was good for the win - we're talking a few mm from catching the edge of the cup and dropping in. 3-way tie at -12 and the 3-hole aggregate score playoff is underway at perhaps the best finishing 3 holes of any golf course in the world. 16, 17, and 18 are all amazing holes with so much risk-reward to them, kind of like Amen Corner at the Masters. Rooting mildly for Sergio - don't like Fowler much - wouldn't mind seeing Kisner get his first win, after losing to Furyk in a playoff a couple of weeks ago at the Heritage.

Most ignorant post in a long time - if you can't enjoy the incredible golf being played right now by these guys, then you need to find a new sport.

I think Rickie just said "I got your overrated right here."

 

[Purple-Ed]

Wow - Wow - Wow

 

[bxle]

That was some great golf!

 

[Abro1975]

Exciting win by Fowler ! His wife or GF is VERY exuberant ! lol

 

[Veiox]

Rickie was -8 over his last ten holes at TPC Sawgrass. One of the best finishes I have ever seen.

I thought Ricky's GF was going to lose her shirt. Probably tonight!!!

 

[JPhoboken]

Awesome end to tournament. Shot after shot, nobody had any fear, just firing at the pins and making putt after putt.

I have to say that things could be shaping up for the US in Ryder cup play next year. There are a lot of good young American players. Fowler, Spieth, Kisner, Horschel, Reed, Keopka, Martin, etc.

Oh, and Ricki's Mom is a hotti too!

 

[WhiteBus]

That was an awesome afternoon. Time for some of you to get past Tiger. That was a hell of a finish and it's your loss that you missed it. Tiger couldn't have done it better today.

 

[RU85inFla]

The Players Champion always parties at the volunteer party that goes on very late. For the sake of the volunteers, I hope Ricky's GF doesn't change before they go down there.

 

[J.L. Gotrocks]

The finish, and the girlfriend

 

[RU848789]

Helluva finish. Gotta give Fowler credit - this win should silence his critics for awhile. And Alexis Randock is smokin'...

 

[knightfan7]

Even the top players in the world take a par on 17 and breathe a sigh of relief. Fowler played it 6 times at 5 under. Glad I got off work early enough to see the finish.

I saw a replay of his 2nd shot on 16. It reminded me of Fred Couples 20 or so years ago when he won. Same shot, same result. It takes a BIG pair to try that shot.

Helluva finish. Gotta give Fowler credit - this win should silence his critics for awhile. And Alexis Randock is smokin'...

Oh my! She was hiding a lot today. For the Seinfeld fans...those are spectacular

 

[Joey Bacala]

Oh, and Ricki's Mom is a hotti too!

What!?!?!

 

[JPhoboken]

What!?!?!

They had a little clip about Ricky and his mom. Good looking woman.

 

[Knight_Light]

Helluva finish. Gotta give Fowler credit - this win should silence his critics for awhile. And Alexis Randock is smokin'...

She did NOT look like that yesterday.

She looked like a tall, skinny skank in aviator glasses.

 

[Ole Cabbagehead]

I dont think I've ever seen a PGA wife or girlfriend dressed like that for a tournament.

Either way, happy for Ricky. I loved his comment after the win..."I guess that's a pretty big one." One of the most exciting tournaments I can remember watching.

• Just saw this on Golf Channel.....

Fowler played #17 three times Sunday. His average distance from the pin was 6', all within 1'10" inches of each other.
