Kev,
At least we didn't have to go through the orchestrated family photo opp...

Sam, the kid showed a ton of class talking with Maltbie aftwards...too many others would have blown him off and not spoke.
I think the wind kind of freshened into his face when he was on the tee. Like he told Roger...he wasn't playing for 2nd place. I think if he goes at the pin with a wedge, ( I think it was playing 35 hole) it most likely would have ballooned on him and come up short. He hit a helluva shot...right over the pin...just a bit too much adrenaline. Had he made that 5-6 footer for birdie on 16, things would have been different and he wouldn't have had to fire at the pin.
