Those expecting an all-day affair did not get their wish, as the playoff took under two hours to complete. It began at the par-3 17th at Pebble Beach, where players went out in groups of four. With the pin tucked away in the back left portion of the difficult green (think, Tom Watson chip-in territory), birdies would be at an absolute premium, and par would feel like a good enough score to advance. Four players in the first two groups did make par, but they were promptly eliminated when Jacob Bergeron, who just announced he's leaving LSU early to turn pro per Golfweek, stuck his tee shot to within five feet and made the only birdie out of the first 12 players.
