PaulBurtner (#413) - SEL HAKs v. CricketCrampton (#286) Fairway Fanatics, Tie #6
Match result:
PaulBurtner - 67
Cricket Crampton - 68
Met up with CricketCrampton tonight...we shared a back & forth game the whole way around, with neither player leading by more than one stroke, so both were always in the game.
Heading into 17, Cricket had just pulled even with a lovely bird on #16, so had the honors. Fortune did not smile upon him, as his tee shot found the bunker, while I safely played mine to 5.5 feet. A good out by Cricket left him with 6.8 feet, which he calmly buried. I was able to sink the 5.5 footer, in a rarity at Kiawah - a straight putt.
On 18, both players found the safety of the fairway. My shot flew a bit on me and I ended up 22 feet for my birdie, and Cricket very nearly cupped his approach - we both thought it was in, but WGT had other ideas as it rolled over the edge of the cup and stopped 7.6 feet away.
Neither of us was able to get our birdie putts to drop, so it was pars at the last and a 67-68 win for the H.A.K.s
