Lehman Last Man Standing in Senior PGA

June 9, 2010 - PRLog -- Lehman Last Man Standing in Senior PGA

Lehman did win the Senior PGA Championship along with a high-rise condo-sized trophy and $360,000 check that goes with it.

Senior golf is its best when on a first-name basis -- and talk about names you know by heart: Along with Lehman, Couples and Frost, the leaderboard had Mark O'Meara and Nick Price.

It was golf you didn't want to miss (golf wholesale= http://www.mygolfwholesale.com/ ). Oddly enough, it quickly was followed by a playoff that made you want to turn away.

"I think I had an advantage from the start because I had just finished," Lehman said. "The longer you have to wait I think the tougher it gets to play in a playoff. So David Frost obviously ... I wouldn't say the deck was stacked against him, but he had a longer, more uphill battle (Callaway X-22 Iron Set= http://www.mygolfwholesale.com/). I guess he finished such a long time before we did.

"Fred had to wait a half an hour. I just basically finished, signed my card and went back and hit again. And I think being No. 1 off the tee, I was really hoping that I would get the first pick, so I could hit first. I think if you miss that fairway the hole becomes much more difficult."

"I didn't hit a great drive," Frost said. "The wind's quite strong right-to-left. I didn't have enough guts to aim it way out right and bring it back like Tom did (Ping G15 Driver). But I won't let one hole bother me when I played so many good holes out there yesterday and today."

Couples, who on the final hole of regulation missed badly on a seven-foot birdie attempt that would have won, was even worse off the tee. He went even further left than Frost, saw his ball come to rest under a bunch of trees and took an unplayable lie. He also carded a double-bogey 6.

With pretty much no pressure, Lehman stopped his approach shot 12 feet from the hole and finished with a tap-in for an easy par.

After congratulating Lehman, Couples put his head down and stomped quickly to the clubhouse, where he grabbed a couple of irons out of his locker and bolted for the parking lot.

"It feels wonderful," Lehman said. "I'm a very consistent player, basically I've always been pretty steady, and conditions like this have always worked in my favor (Titleist Pro V1 Ball). I normally hit it solid, which you need to do in the wind. So a championship like this, really, it kind of works right into my wheelhouse.

"To kind of hang in there -- which was what it was -- I started off poorly and just kind of hung in there and I made a couple birdies and then I got in a playoff."
