The outcome of semifinals of the WGC Match Play in Austin (Texas)the last tournament in the world series created in 1999. When everyone thought of the dream final (Scottie Scheffler-Rory McIlroy) an unexpected ending occurs (Sam Burns – Cameron Young). The world number 1 and 3 were surpassed in the extra hole after being tied in 18 regulations by the number 13 and 15 of the ranking. Outmatched early in the trip, they bounced back and forced a playoff run.
Scheffler, defending champion and finalist in 2021, started by losing the first three holes to Burns, went ‘two up’ by winning the intermediate five and just when it looked like he would give his compatriot the finishing touch, he got back up with birdies on holes 13, 15 and 17, to be placed with an advantage, all and that Scheffler was forced into a play off. Scottie had the victory in hand but missed a clear two-meter option (Burns didn’t want to look) that gave life to his rival, who did not forgive the third extra (21st), burying his birdie putt, with the suspense. .
Behind McIlroy he had a two-hole lead, and quite comfortably, after hole 15. But Young tied the match by beating him on 16 and 18 and on the first extra hole they played, 12, par 5, Cameron holes his putt birdie, not quite. the British. Lace of hands and Burns and Young will fight for the title and Scheffler and McIlroy for third and fourth place. See it to believe it. What is golf?
