Augusta's Broc Everett saves best for last, wins NCAA individual title in final college start-7
Still at seven under while
standing on the 18th tee,
Everett had a chance to
win the title outright on
the last hole in regulation.
In the fairway off the tee, he chose to lay up with his
second shot, then hit his
approach on the par 5 to
10 feet. But the lefty
powered the birdie effort
past the hole to set up sudden death with
Mancheno. In the playoff, a return to
the par-5 18th, Mancheno
had the advantage off the
tee, hitting the fairway
after Everett found the
right rough and was forced to lay up .
Mancheno went for the
green with a hybrid, but
overcooked the shot. The
ball ending up long and
right of the green, near a tree and in a horribly
gnarly lie. Still, he
managed to scramble for
par, putting pressure on
Everett, who hit his
approach again to roughly 10 feet. Only this time, he
faced an uphill putt, which
he confidently rolled in for
the victory.Source:Golfdigest
