Tiger Woods blows final round lead to lose to Harrington in playoff
Is the apocalypse upon us? Did Tiger Woods just blow a final round lead? Bidding to become a threepeat champion of the Dunlop Phoenix Open in Japan, Tiger Woods looked to be in control of the tournament. But Tiger uncharacteristically messed up. With a 2-stroke lead on the 16th, Tiger missed a three-footer while Paddy Harrington rolled in a birdie. Two shot swing; all tied.
On the second hole of the playoff, Paddy drove in the rough and then went for broke splitting his ball through a “Y” shaped tree. With shades of Phil Mickelson’s shot at the U.S. Open overhanging, Paddy made his miraculous shot. His next shot was within two feet for a tap in birdie. Tiger uncharacteristically missed a twelve footer for birdie to lose the tourney. (More from TGC)
