Alberstadt: 'Is Driver Off the Deck a Good Idea?'

IN A PLAYOFF AT THE FRYS.COM OPEN, Kevin Na faced a long second shot at the par-5 18th. His club choice was driver. Na explained that he hits driver off the deck all the time, including five or six of them during the Frys.com Open.
But the last one didn't come off.
Wrote Ben Alberstadt at golfwrx.com, "[T]he results of Na's attempt: a lovely, low, chunked, hooking effort that ended up well short, in the rough, totally out of position."

Na lost the playoff. Playing in his first PGA Tour event, Argentine Emiliano Grillo won after missing a 3-foot clinching birdie on the first playoff hole.
