AUSTIN, Texas – At least Chris Kirk made the long wait worthwhile.
Kirk and Branden Grace needed a sudden-death, stroke-play playoff Friday afternoon to determine who would advance out of Group 11 after both players finished with two points apiece.
The only problem?
They had to wait more than two hours to go head-to-head because, in a new twist this year, all group matches must be on the course before a playoff can begin.
Grace won his match, 5 and 4, and sat around for about three hours for the playoff.
