By the time Brooks birdied 18 to force a playoff, Perry was tight and had no time to warm up and hit balls. If I remember right, it was when the PGA was still sudden death playoff and not a 3 or 4 hole playoff like it is now. I believe they played #18 in the playoff (par 5) and Perry hadn't reached the green in 4 shots.

Kev when you see what Rocco did today, don't you think there is that element of a hot golfer changed by success who is putting out of his mind like Perry has been the last month or so. If the weather stays anywhere near what it was today we could have a real fairy tale winner. Watson, Norman, VanDe, Duval.....any of these will have a tear in your eye if they take the jug home.
