All that fun stuff you hear about in Las Vegas that nobody is supposed to talk about? It usually happens after dark. The PGA Tour's Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open was no exception."I couldn't see it" said Jonathan Byrd.
On this occasion, Byrd had good reason for the temporary blackout.
The script wasn't looking promising Sunday night at TPC Summerlin. After a 72-hole regulation play ended in a three-way tie, Byrd, Martin Laird and Cameron Percy were heading to the fourth playoff hole as daylight was fading fast.
Before stepping to the 204-yard par 3 17th hole (for the third time of the day) the three players were given the option by PGA Tour officials to continue play or return Monday morning to decide a winner.
If any of the three had declined to go forward, play would have been halted until Monday. When Byrd was asked, he offered to go with the flow.
"Whatever you guys want to do," he said.
The agreement was to press on.
They didn't have to go far.
