Nice up and own on 18(double bogey is not a bad result if ya hit the ball in the water twice on the hole.)It was really the only glitch in his round,and I saw 2 very good putts in a row(earlier) just barely miss.I am not even talking about the one on 16.Fact is he brought it on Sunday.He felt the pressure on 18.Saved double bogey.Then,instead of moaning about it(like Sergio does,) he and his family rejoiced in that fact he had a great final round in his favorite tournament.The way they handled that whole thing on 18gave him the attitude he needed to have if he got a chance(in a playoff.)He was ready.He(and his family) had put it behind them, and that was key.Although Sergio didn't totally give it up today,all he needed was to find the green on 18,and 2 putt.He couldn't.I don't feel sorry for him.He is a good ballstriker,and should have done that.It didn't require huge sack.Just a long iron,and 2 putt.Tough break on the putt to win it,but it should have been a shorter putt(like Padraig had to win.)Sergio will never be a great putter.He had a chance to win this(without making a real tough putt) if he just does what he does well(hit the green in 2 shots on a par 4.) So,Pgrdn,this is why we say this guy should have won 3 times as many tournaments as he has.
