Perry misses a gimme, Eger and McNulty win in a playoff..

I was following this yesterday before I went out for Easter Sunday and missed the finale so here is part of the pgatour.com report from the course


David Eger and Mark McNulty won the better-ball Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf on the second playoff hole Sunday against Perry and Scott Hoch.

Canadian Rod Spittle and his partner Mike Goodes T12, 68,61,64 193 just 4 shots back on what was a cavalry charge on Sunday afternoon with the lead changing hands by the minute, so going to a playoff was no surprise, the way it ended was...

Eger and McNulty, who started four shots off the lead in the 54-hole event at The Club at Savannah Harbor, shot 11-under 61 in the final round for 27-under 189. Perry and Hoch shot 64 to get into the playoff.

Second-round co-leaders Wayne Levi and Keith Fergus finished with 66 for 26-under 190, tied for third with Russ Cochran and Mark Weibe (60), David Frost and Michael Allen (62), Corey Pavin and Tom Lehman (64) and Ian Baker-Finch and Joe Ozaki (64).

In the playoff, both teams settled for par on the 18th, a 457-yard, par-4. They returned to play the hole again. This time, all four players failed to hold the sloped green with their approaches but all chipped fairly close.

But it ended when, after McNulty tapped in for par, Hoch and Perry both missed short putts to extend the match -- Perry's ball lipping out.

"It's a 14-inch putt that you don't even think much of," Perry said. "But, when it's all on the line, things change and I pushed it and it didn't go in. So typical."It's the only bogey we made all week. We didn't come close to making a bogey all week and then to do that in a playoff ..."


McNulty said afterward that Perry's ball was outside his, which he estimated to be about three feet from the cup. Still, it was a putt nearly everyone figured Perry could easily tap in.

"I was very surprised," Eger said. "I never expected Kenny to miss that putt."
