hole of a playoff with Jim Furyk, Davis’ 7-iron approach hit the left edge of the 18th green, struck some rocks, and finally came to rest in a hazard on some twigs amidst the tall grass and reeds.


A COSTLY RULES VIOLATION Taking the club away from the ball, Davis barely clipped a lone reed, an action that was barely noticeable but since he was in a hazard, resulted in a two-stroke penalty for moving a loose impediment. For those of you keeping track of such things, that’s a violation of Rule 13.4. “It was one of those things where I thought I saw


movement out of the corner of my eye and I thought we’d check on TV, and indeed there was movement,” Davis said. Davis summoned PGA TOUR tournament director


Slugger White, who had other officials review the videotape, which confirmed Davis’ fears. “It’s just awkward to see it happen at such a key


moment in the golf tournament,” Furyk said. “Awkward for him to lose that way, and a little awkward for me to win.” That was small consolation for Davis, who had rolled


in a clutch 18-footer for birdie on his final regulation hole to catch Furyk and force overtime. After the ruling, he immediately conceded victory to


Furyk, who putted out for his 15th PGA TOUR win and second since March. Furyk seemed momentarily unsure how to respond. “I wanted to react to the crowd and kind of wave and


let them know, that ‘Hey, I’m excited,’” Furyk said. “But I didn’t want it to take anything away from Brian. To have the tournament come down that way is definitely not the way I wanted to win. It’s obviously a tough loss for him and I respect and admire what he did.” So did Slugger White. “That will come back to him spades, tenfold,” White said. “He’s class, first class.” ■

Course Insight:


Harbour Town Golf Links


“IT’S AWKWARD


FOR HIM TO LOSE THAT WAY, AND A LITTLE


AWKWARD FOR ME TO WIN.”


— Jim Furyk The seventh tee at the Harbour Town Golf Links.


18


Rookie Blake Adams tied the


PGA TOUR record for fewest putts in a round with 18 in the second round


of the 2010 Verizon Heritage. Seven


other players share the record.

Even his most virulent critics are forced to concede that golf course architect Pete Dye is a genius. Most people point to Harbour Town Golf Links, designed with advice from his wife, Alice, and Jack Nicklaus, as one of his finest courses—as well as being one of the game’s greatest tests.


Harbour Town’s narrow, twisting fairways and small greens put a premium on accuracy, forcing players to find the best approaches for approach shots to putting surfaces artfully protected by run- offs and strategic bunkering—many employing the traditional Scottish method of reinforcing the faces of the bunkers with railroad ties. This led Sam Snead to remark that it was “the first course I ever played that could burn down.” Dye directed a comprehensive renovation following the 2001 tournament. Dye worked on all 18 greens and many of the bunkers, removing or trimming hundreds of trees to restore the course’s original shot lines.
