Shelton's shocking miss sends Crocker to quarters
Courtesy USGAOLYMPIA FIELDS, Ill. – After sinking the biggest putt of his life, Sean Crocker was so certain that his match would head to a third extra hole that he darted under the rope line and made a beeline for the next tee, a clever bit of gamesmanship.
All he heard was silence.
A few moments earlier, Crocker had raced his uphill birdie putt about 12 feet past. He let out a little groan, then ripped off his hat and covered his face.
“I don’t even know what the hell I did after that first putt,” he said.
