Hoffman Steals a Win
Charley Hoffman made an unlikely eagle on the 72nd hole to force a playoff at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic in Palm Desert, California. Hoffman beat John Rollins on the first hole of sudden death with a par when Rollins couldn’t get up and down after mis-hitting his 2nd shot out of a fairway bunker.
Justin Rose has got to be kicking himself yet again as he let another one slip away. It’s not that he played poorly, it’s just that he didn’t match what other guys around him were doing. Rose has game, he’s just got to figure out how to get the ball in the hole when it’s crunch time.
And did you check out the weather in Palm Desert? Unusually strong winds made this play more like a British Open round than an early season rack-up-the-birdies type of tournament. The Golf Channel is making strides in their tournament coverage but I, but they missed Mark Rolfing this week, as he’s excellent at bringing continuity to the coverage.

What a great finish! Not many performances can steal the show away from an ace!
