LOS ANGELES – No town does drama like LA, but even by Hollywood standards this was a finish that no one saw coming.
OK, except John Redman.
Conspicuous in a Clemson orange fishing shirt, he had spent the past eight hours pacing Riviera Country Club and puffing on an e-cigarette. But with his son Doc’s U.S. Amateur title hopes fading, the elder Redman felt compelled to emerge from the trees. On the 17th hole, he sidled up to Clemson assistant coach Jordan Byrd and dismissed any notion of impending doom.
“This is not over,” Redman said.
