Season 3 TPX Semifinal TMangrove defeats Cosmicsheep 1 up on the first hole of sudden death I'm getting too old for this stuff We hit the first tee and I see that it's raining. I'm terrible in the rain usually because my approach shots often leave me 20 feet from the pin and I have no feel for how hard to hit the putts. I took a quick 1 up lead with a thumper at 1, but Cosmic wins the 2nd with birdie as I make a complete hash of the hole with a short trip to the pine straw. I grab the lead back on 5 only to lose it again on 6. I also lose 7 and 8 to go 2 down. I get one back on 9 and lose it again on 10. You may see a pattern emerging I'm still 2 down after 12 and things are looking bleak. I win 13 to close within one and then hold tight before winning 16 to finally reach AS again. We stay AS after 18 and head to extra holes. Again I take the lead after 1 hole only for Cosmic to square things again at 2 with a very fine eagle in the wind and rain. AS is where it stays through 9 as we match each other on every remaining hole on the front 9. On to sudden death. We're each sitting in the fairway in similar spots. My approach lands 9 feet from the pin and Cosmic slices his just a bit and finds the greenside bunker. I made the putt to close things out. You played great Cosmic. I knew this was going to be a tough one. Harbour is a tricky course and if you're just a touch off on your shots you can find trouble as we both did. Thanks for the game. You certainly played well enough to win. TMan We had a great match. The rain was a real problem throughout most of the game though; lots of putts left short in my case anyway. As in previous matches I managed to build up a lead only to see it whittled down; some guys just seem to play better from behind!!!!! There was very little between us most of the time and on the first sudden death hole I was the first to make a mistake with a slight push on my approach to the green; I watched TMan make his birdie putt and prayed I could pitch in but alas I missed. Great match TMan and goodluck in the final versus the inform Davski; I will be looking to put one over Frenchy and snatch 3rd place. Cosmicsheep

I'll provisionally CONFIRM. dad is getting the surgery, and we both tried hard to reach Motnola yesterday so he and dad could get their round done.
so in an alternate universe where dad has defeated Mot, i defeated dad.
it was a good game, no great. i got it to 3Up twice and the old codger chewed back. Dormie after 17, and i had to make a birdy put on 18 i wont make 9 out of 10 times, to preserve the 1UP win.
thanx dad. good luck with the surgery.
JC

3rd Place Play-off/ Scottsdale
Cosmicsheep beats Frenchy 3&2
We both started nicely with birdies on 1 and 2 I think. Then Frenchy made his birdie putts on 3 and 4 while I missed mine and I went 2 down; I thought it was all over but through holes 8,9,10 and 11 I won 4 holes to change the match and go 2 up myself. I think I went 3 up but Frenchy quickly pulled one back with an eagle. I made eagle on the last par5 to Frenchys birdie to go back 3 up and that is how the match ended after we both parred the next hole. Thankyou for the great match; I shot a 58 which was pretty awesome for me!!!!

tpx final scottsdale. Tmangrove defeats Davski 1up after 27 holes. What a fun match. We both started out awkward on the slow greens. On #4 Tman holed out a pitch shot and I missed my birdie putt to go down 1. It was back and forth until I was able to go up1 on 15 then on 17, tman hits his tee shot to about 1 foot from the hole and taps in for eagle. I miss my birdie and it's tied again . We went to the playoff and tman got back to regular form for the first half, goin up 3 after the first 4 holes. he cooled off and I was able to almost catch up. pushing tman to a playoff and almost pulling it off is about all I can hope for when playing him head to head. thanks Tman, and congrats on your tpx title repeat.

Confirmed. I never trailed until after 15 (I went swimming there), but I never had more than a 1 up lead either. I managed to birdie the par 3 16th, which is rare for me. Dave did so as well and things looked bleak. The 17th may be drivable but there can be many tough putts even if you reach in one. I just aimed straight at the flag and went with the full driver. I was stunned to get a thumper but still expected a 7 footer with a crazy amount of break. I couldn't believe it was within 1 foot. On 18 I see that he has his approach within 2 or 3 feet so the pressure is on. I hit mine to 5 feet to make birdie and keep the match AS. In the extra holes I started great including a full 1 iron to 11 feet for eagle at 3 plus a 24 foot putt for birdie at 4. Despite having what seemed a comfortable lead, things started to slip away. I had a couple of putts lip out and Dave was dialed in on some approaches. I take a 1up lead to the 9th and once again he makes birdie while I'm left with a 13 footer to close out the match. Fortunately I struck it well and made it. Dave was better than I was over the first 18. I needed a couple of bits of good fortune to hang in there. I played much better during the extra holes and still only just hung on. That was a great match and I'm pleased to have survived. Thanks for the excellent competition, Dave. TMan
