RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico – A year ago at the Puerto Rico Open, Alex Cejka finished his final round, changed into a t-shirt and shorts, packed up his clubs and was satisfied with what he thought was a third-place showing. There was no trophy that he’d hoped for, but it had been a solid week.
Then mayhem broke out behind him, with not one, but two leaders making bogeys at the 72nd hole, leaving a five-man playoff in the wake. All of a sudden, Cejka, a man who’d waited so patiently to taste victory, had a new lease.
