jordans shoes for cheap-Williamson wins Southern Amateur in playoff


 LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) Former Dartmouth star Peter Williamson sank a 25-foot birdie putt on the third playoff hole to claim the Southern Amateur title over world No. 1 amateur Bobby Wyatt at Chenal Country Club in Little Rock. Advertisement GOLF VIDEOS Wyatt had rallied from four shots back Saturday on the back nine of Chenal's Bear Den Course to force the playoff. Williamson and Wyatt began the day tied and each shot a final round 5-under, 67, as did playing partner Daniel Berger — who missed the playoff by one stroke and finished third. The win qualifies Williamson for the Arnold Palmer Invitational next spring in Orlando, Fla., — provided he remains an amateur. Talor Gooch of Oklahoma City and John Catlin of Gold River, Calif., finished tied for fourth — 12 shots behind the leaders.
irdie a� C e s x�Y H;[ t two more bogeys at the third and sixth holes left him at 9 under overall. Fortunately for the Aussie, he wasn't being challenged. Brandt Snedeker made par on the first six holes to get within two strokes of the lead — only to make a double-bogey 7 at the seventh after he drove left into the rough. Woods started the round five shots back and looking to come from behind for the first time ever to win a major title. But the debacle at No. 6 seemed likely to wipe out any chance he had of rallying. He ran into trouble by putting his approach into one of the treacherous bunkers alongside the green. With the ball right up against a towering sod wall, Woods made the ill-fated decision to try to chip the ball out — and didn't come close, the ball striking the side of the bunker not even halfway up. He had to jump out of the way just to make sure he didn't get hit in the shoulder, the ball plopping back into the stand a little farther back. With nowhere to place his feet, Woods had to sprawl out on the grass, his left leg tucked up under his right, and punch at the ball from a sitting position. He caught the lip of the bunker this time, but the ball skidded out to the front of the green. Woods' work wasn't done, though. His long bogey putt stopped about 4 feet short of the hole, and he missed that one for a devastating triple that knocked him back to 3 under. Graeme McDowell, playing in the final group with Scott, also was struggling. He bogeyed the second and took another bogey at the sixth after dumping his ball into the same bunker that doomed Woods. Wisely, G-Mac punched ball backward in the sand, giving him a chance to stick his next bunker shot right up next to the flag. He tapped that one in to save a 5, certainly a lot better than a 7. McDowell and Snedeker were both at 5 under, leaving Scott with the same lead he had at the start of the day. ___ Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963
