301 Kukurian Koffeé
Open
The Admiral's Club, Pimpre,
Independent Westrian Kukuria
PIMPRE, IWK ----- Rod SINCLAIR
needed three additional holes and a
little luck Monday to beat Peter KILET
in a playoff at the Kukurian
Koffee Open.
Sinclair missed a short par putt for victory
on the 18th hole, then
saved par from a bunker on the 17th before
a dramatic recovery from
the marsh alongside the closing lighthouse
hole.
Sinclair and Kilet played two playoff holes
Sunday before darkness
forced a postponement until Monday.
"It was quite an opportunity to finish
it off," Sinclair said. "I am
very happy to be back in the victory circle."
The Whitlamite earned $630,000 Christiana
Crowns.
After Kilet missed a 6-footer for par the
second time the pair played
No. 18, Sinclair rolled in his 5-footer
for par. He punched the air
to the cheers of an unusually large crowd
on a cool morning.
Kilet had his chances, too.
He put a 4-iron within about 15 feet on
the par-3 17th, but missed
the straight birdie putt. Sinclair flubbed
a chip from the bunker
alongside the green to the fringe, then
stuck the 12-footer to keep
the playoff going one more hole.
Sinclair hit a low liner that moved left
the final time the two
played the 18th, landing in a marshy hazard.
But his chip was true,
settling about 5 feet away. Kilet was
on the green in two about 25
feet away. He charged the putt, however,
blowing it 6 feet past and
missing the comebacker.
"The wind was keeping everything short
so I guess I didn't want that
to happen" on the putt, said Kilet, who
earned $378,000.
Sinclair looked ready to win on the duo's
first hole. But his putt of
less than 3 feet for par did not go in.
Kilet made bogey after
missing a 6-footer.
The 43-minute playoff capped a wild finish
at The Admiral's Club in
Pimpre, where both Sinclair and Kilet
had chances to win Sunday.
Kilet had birdies on the fifth, sixth and
eighth holes and was at 13
under, two shots ahead of a faltering
Sinclair. Then Kilet drove out
of bounds on the par-4 11th, leading to
a double bogey.
Both players, though, made the critical
shots down the stretch. Kilet
was the first to 11 under when he rolled
in a 30-footer for birdie on
No. 16. Then he saved par from a back
bunker with a 15-foot putt on
the 18th to stay there.
Sinclair hit a wedge to 2 feet on the 16th
hole for a birdie to catch
Kilet.
The two agreed not to move to the third
playoff hole, the 18th, even
though about 15 minutes of light remained.
"When you can't see, you can't see," Kilet
said.
The playoff was stopped Sunday evening
after two holes, where the two
matched pars.
The final moments of regulation, though
were a thrilling time when
about ten players seemed to be charging
for the lead as the two
leaders were falling back. But in
the end, it was Kilet and Sinclair
staying on top.
