So You Can Hit From A Tent, But Not Off Another Green

((HT: PGA Tour/Golf Channel))

You can go all Tin Cup like Phil Mickelson did in Round 2 of The Barclays...


He did bogey the hole by the way...

That you can do...

But Seung-Yul Noh's tee shot on the 11th hole landed on the green of the 3rd hole. He could have taken a free drop, but he didn't know that part of the rule...

He then hit is next shot as a chip shot off the green and was assessed a 2-stroke penalty.


Wonder if anyone else will have any other kinds of adventures for the final two rounds...

Matt Jones Gets To Augusta With A Slam Dunk

((HT: PGA Tour/NBC))

The only way someone else was going to get to Augusta to play in the tournament next week was to beat Matt Kuchar and not already be going in the first place...

Kuchar had a four-shot lead going into the last day in Houston, but surrendered the lead and was in a playoff with Matt Jones...

Jones went all Larry Mize and now gets into the major...


Quoting Mel Allen: "How about that?"

A final round 66, his first tour win, and an invite to Augusta. Adams made a 46-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole to reach the playoff and made a 42-yard chip for the win.

Kuchar bogeyed the final hole of regulation, then missed his bunker shot to give Jones the win and almost $1.2 million.
