Carlo and I just finished our match, and it could not have been more exciting.
After birdies halved 10, he went 1up after a nice birdie on 11. We halved 12 with birdies. Tough wind on 13 tugged his approach to bottom of green, and I birdied from 6 feet to get back to AS. He got it back to 1up on 14 when I struggled from front of green in 2 and couldn't get the birdie. This time I got it back on 15 after making a 19 footer, and his answer from 12 feet slid by. He birdied 16 and I missed my putt to put him back to 1up. We halved birdies on 17 and went to 18 with Carlo 1up. There was a left to right 19-20 mph wind helping just a touch. I had to gamble and it paid off, hitting my approach to 3 feet. Carlo's approach sailed a tad long of the hole and rolled down the slope to the left fringe. Valiant chip from there, but I managed to square us up and send us to extra holes.
Back on 10, we halved again with birdies. Tough wind again on 11, and we halved with pars. On our third extra hole (#12) I made my 4 footer for birdie after Carlo just missed his from a little short of the hole.
BigKnight wins on 3rd extra hole.
That was the type of match that no one should have to lose. Carlo (as most of you know) is the BEST on WGT, and after playing in so many tourneys that he has hosted, it was a pleasure to play him. Best of luck my friend, let's play again soon.
Thanks again for the extension of time to get the match in. Looking forward to the next round :)
