Lanny and Tucker Wadkins grab unlikely Father/Son win with eagle in playoff

ORLANDO, Fla. – During his Hall of Fame career, Lanny Wadkins always wore his heart on his sleeve. So it was no surprise to see him break into spontaneous celebration when his son, Tucker, buried a 40-foot eagle putt on the first playoff hole to win the PNC Father/Son Challenge.

"My stuff is never choreographed," Lanny said. "It was rolling so pure, I didn’t see how it could possibly miss."

Four feet from the hole, Wadkins hugged his son. At best, it could be described as a bear hug. In wrestling, they’d call it a sleeper hold.
