That set up a 36-Hole final Between the 33-year-old Globe trotting Marsh and the hefty Floyd and sent the 20-year-old Ballesteros against a very reluctant Irwin for third place. It s meaningless said Irwin a two time Winner of this International classic who missed the finals for the first time in four years. I d rather just get on a plane and go the eventual Winner receives $52,500 from the richest purse in Europe with $31. 500 going to second place $21,000to third and $15,750 to fourth. I was never Ever in it Irwin said after he d been blitzed by the steady australian who won the heritage classic this season in his first year on the american tour. I just did t play Well.

And Graham made what one bogey that s Marsh played his first 18 in five under Par 68 on the tight tree lined 6,969-Yard Burma Road course at the Wentworth Golf club and was eight under Par for the 30 holes he played. I was fortunate to have caught Hale when he had a Little bit of an off Marsh said. Irwin opened bogey bogey lost both holes and never led. He was three Down after 18 holes and said the clincher came on the second and third in the afternoon round. He had Short Birdie putts to win both holes and missed both. Floyd wearing a gaily patterned tartan Cap. Had a much tougher time against the Brilliant Young spaniard Ballesteros. Floyd like Irwin a two time Winner in the United states this year fired a solid 68 under Gray gloomy skies for a 1 up advantage in the morning once went to 4 up on a Birdie Birdie Par Birdie burst in the after noon then watched Ballesteros Battle Back. Ballesteros birdied the 10th through 12th holes and won two of them Cut the deficit to two lost the 13th to Floyd s 2 1 foot Birdie putt but won the 14th with a Par when the american was hunkered. That put Floyd 2 up with four to play. He won it with halves on the next three holes. Two of them birdies.
