IS THIS THE BIGGEST ANTICLIMAX EVER?

If a 24-man play-off in the middle of the US Amateur wasn’t crazy enough, Jacob Bergeron winning it with a bogey six certainly was. “Fortunate is the first word that comes to mind,” he admitted. The battle royale at Pebble Beach started with six fourballs taking on the iconic 17th and ended just 90 minutes later. A pair of twos sent 22 players packing after the first play-off hole, and left Bergeron and Peter Kuest as the survivors. Two then became one as Kuest ran up a triple bogey EIGHT on 18 to hand Bergeron the 64th and final spot in the knockout rounds.
