What a great week of exposure for Calgary, for Shaw and for the Canyon Meadows GC. Great weather, great field and a spectacular job of the Golf Channels production crew displaying all the gorgeous scenery Calgarians have become accustomed to. Priceless as they say.
As for the golf Fred Couples beat Billy Andrade in a one-hole playoff to win in amazing fashion. He chipped in for eagle from the back of the green of the par-5, 18th hole to set a new course record of 9-under 61
Andrade then tapped in a short putt for an eagle after a superb 6 iron to within the leather on the 18th to card an 8-under 62 to pull into a tie with Couples at 15 under through three days of competition.
The pair then went back to the 18th tee for the playoff. Andrade went for the green in two and pulled his second shot right of the green and into the stands. After laying up, Couples chipped his third shot to within a foot of the hole. Andrade's chip came up 40 feet short and he missed the birdie attempt. leaving Freddie with a tap in to win.
