Commercial Bank Qatar Masters final scoreboard https://www.europeantour.com/european-tour/commercial-bank-qatar-masters-2020/results?round=4
Sometimes in sports you get blown out in a game, called a laugher, or you blow a game, called a choke, or you give it your all and just plain get beat.
David Drysdale is a journeyman Scottish pro from Edinburgh, his caddie Vicky is his wife and was his childhood sweetheart. He is 44, turned pro 25 years ago in 1995, has lost his card and re-qualified 4 times through Q school is ranked 475 in the world.. and has never won in 498 starts.
Today he and newly married Jorge Campillo of Spain went to a playoff to decide the winner of this year's Commercial Bank Qatar Masters. Campillo has one win one his resume.
Five times DD as he's known smashed his drives down the par 4 18th, 5 times he hit really good 6 or 7 irons into the green.
Three times he was inside Campillo and twice the Spaniard made unbelievable 20+ foot birdie putts to halve the hole, then made the third and last, a curling 20 footer on the 5th playoff hole for the win when David finally could not respond with a 25 footer of his own. It was his 4th runner up finish.
While Jorge was on the green getting all the plaudits, David and Vicky walked off, hurting, but with heads high onto next week, I hope buoyed by the fact they didn't lose, they were just beaten, and this week 498, it was really close and with this form who knows, win #1 may come before week #500...
