2008 SHELL'S WONDERFUL WORLD OF GOLF
JEFE VERSUS JIMBO
ARCADIA BLUFFS GOLF CLUB
4th Hole: Par 4, 367 yards
YouTube version:
How many courses do you have to wait until the 4th hole before you reach you first par 4? The 4th is one of the easier holes on the course. The landing area is pretty generous off the tee, and the green sits in a bowl.
Jefe took advantage of the green-light flagstick, firing right at it even out of the rough. Four holes in, and we've already had two kick-in birdies. The 2008 Shell's Wonderful World of Golf looks like it's going to be a shootout.
Jimbo played the hole just like you're supposed to, but left his approach shot a little shorter than he would've liked. A solid two-putt from 45 feet gave him a solid par, but cost him a stroke in the match. Jefe's up one after four.
Jefe: I hit a very average drive and again went through the fairway just like on the speed round the night before. My lie was pretty hairy but knowing how all sides of this green will funnel the ball towards the hole I knew I just had to get it up around the green and the result would be pretty good. I hit a wedge and it went up there about 1.5 feet away for an easy birdie.
Jimbo: I wacked my drive down the left side of the fairway and had a good look at the stick. Since everything funnels to the stick I tried to run a 6 iron into the green. Having caught everything thin to this point it wasn't surprising that I caught my second shot fat. The ball did creep up near the front of the green and I was able to two putt for par. Jefe did just what I was trying to do using the slopes to get it close for a quality birdie.
After 4 Holes: Jefe E; Jimbo +1
