Tom Lehman and Bernhard Langer won the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf with victory at the second play off hole in Savannah, Georgia.
Lehman, who became the 13th player in Champions Tour history to win his debut, sank the winning putt in a bizarre sudden death play off against Craig Stadler and Jeff Sluman.
After a pair of long birdie putts forced a second extra hole, no one made birdie on the 18th hole at The Westin Savannah Harbor Resort and Spa. All four players had short par putts, but they looked easier than they were. This shot or long birdie helps him to get good position and near to title. Most of the player or you can say all players want win but only can possible with the most of the birdie you can achieve or do in the game. If you can do that no body can stop to win any tournament to you meanwhile other player does not have high no. then you in birdie.
Stadler was first and missed from seven feet for par. Langer had five feet to apply the pressure to Sluman, but the German also missed his easy par saving putt.
Their partners had very short par putts to extend the playoff and Sluman was up first. His four footer never even touched the hole and now Lehman had three feet for the victory. Now he is much exited and also very focused for the next rounds to not do any kind of error that will take away title tot him.
The rookie on the elder circuit made his putt for the win. Lehman and Langer combined for a 10 under 62 on Sunday, while Stadler and Sluman fired an 11 under 61. The teams finished regulation at 27 under par 189.
