writers because of his methodical he was not methodical or very by his own when it making four bogeys in a Row at one Point to create a playoff with i made a lot of bad litter said later in a voice barely audible even though he was sitting in front of a Micro i mis clubbed at least a Hal dozen which you cant do on Pebble maybe it want supposed to be Lill lers Day because once they started the playoff it was obvious Wadkins make a mistake and Gene get a which he desperately Wadkins made a 20foot putt on the first which is a Par and thai saved him the first they both birdied the second which is a 502yard Par and then they went to the which is trickier than it looks at 388 Yards and Par Wadkins out drove Littler and then flew the bul his second shot slopped about 30 feet from the pin on the Back Lill lers second shot was on he but in didst quite get to where he walled 1 had hoped to pin it on the front Edge of the he but 1 was Short a what made it worse is that the Ball Sal in Lull Gross Hal had been trampled on and almost that was Una Ortale for Littler had to i through the grass to gel to the Ball and 1 flubbed at it was a Chancy the Ball went Only about 10 feet and left Littler a pull of about 29 he missed and then who had come out to within eight feel will his third made the pull that won him lifetime exemption in the pea five year exemptions in the masters and a spot on the Ryder cup the world series of Golf and the world More important he gained a 10year exempt status on the what it did to Littler was break his Wadkins knew and Afler jumping in the air for
