Got a in too late to see the tournament completion, but wow, 2 chip ins on the last 2 holes to win! Wow indeed. This from GolfWeek:

“HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. – Boo Weekley didn’t blow his latest chance for a first PGA Tour victory, chipping in on the final two holes to hold off Ernie Els and win the Verizon Heritage on Monday. Weekley looked as if he would give back all of a three-shot lead after his bogey on the 16th hole and his muffed chip behind the 17th green. Weekley followed the blunder with a 40-foot, par-saving chip to keep a one-stroke lead.

But then Weekley had more troubles on Harbour Town’s lighthouse hole, No. 18. He chipped across the green and into the fluffy rough down a short slope. Once again, Weekley’s short game saved him, this time rolling it from 36 feet away.

“Unreal,” Weekley said. “This is unreal.”

Els, bidding for his first tour win since 2004, lost his chance on No. 17, driving into the hazard behind the green for a bogey. The Big Easy made things interesting, though, putting his second shot – and last opportunity to tie – at the 18th inside 2 feet.

“I don’t think I want to see this replay,” Els said, smiling.”

Don’t worry Ernie, I really think you’ll get it done again and again.
