PGA Fall Series -- The final leg of the PGA season goes relatively unnoticed to the casual golf fan, but two of the year's best finishes have occurred in successive weeks. Last week, Rocco Mediate holed out for eagle on 17 and followed with a birdie on 18 to win the Frys.com Open and secure his PGA exempt status. This week's finish at the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals Open was even more improbable.
Standing on the tee at the 17 with sunlight nearly gone, Jonathan Byrd, Martin Laird, and Cameron Percy discussed whether they could finish the fourth playoff hole. They agreed to one more, but it turned out to finish quicker than they expected. In the most dramatic of fashions, Byrd, pictured right, stepped up first and aced the 204-yard par 3 for the walk-off win. Not even Vegas could have established odds for the PGA's first ever hole-in-one on a final shot to win.
