Woody and Henry had a hot, humid day that just got tougher as the round went on.  Woody started very strongly with four pars in the first five holes - good enough for a 2Up lead.  Henry hung in, caught his breath and took three of the next four.

 They both actually played very well on the front; Woody shot a net 34 and Henry a net 35.  But it was Henry who had the lead 1Up at the turn.  Then, after nothing worse than a double on the front, Henry hit a slump and struggled with his swing.  Woody ran off three wins in a row before Henry recovered to get one back on #13.

Both on their games, they pushed #14, #15 and #16, each player shooting net par over that stretch.  On the 17th tee Woody was 1Up and feeling the pressure knowing that there was no easy tiebreaker - a bad shot could lead to extra holes.  He put his drive down the left side, just clipping the trees.  For Henry it was the length - and that darned left turn on #17 - that caused the problems.  His tee shot flared out right and he had a long way back to the fairway.

Both punched up near the hole - each lying the same about 20 feet away from the pin.  Woody chipped to 2' - which Henry graciously conceded.  Facing a 20' putt Henry got a little aggressive and ran past the cup.  When he missed the 6' comeback it was over: 2 and 1.   You can view the final scorecard here.

Congratulations to our 2012 President's Cup Champion Woody Burroni.  This is reported to be the first time that the Club President has won the President's Cup.  And despite Ron Sanossian's suggestion to model the prize after a Viagara, we went with this visual for the tournament trophy:  The Woody.
