I think the questionable one was not 17, that was clearly going to stay out, but the second shot on the par 5 hole they played after that. Jomez didn't have a good angle on that one. You can hear JohnE and nate having a laugh about how the crowd said "it didn't hit anybody"
That was hole #2, 897, Par 5, OB everywhere, and a mando in there too.
JohnE went for it and he threw into the crowd hoping for everyone to get out of the way, THEN for a skip to help his shot land safe? I think that is a little too much "wishfull thinking" on his behalf for a "go-for-it" shot.
Then he proceeds to try again and fade OB to the left of the basket...this course dictated smart play and some played smarter than others.
This happens all the time in the ball golf world. I see players on the PGA hit into the crowds outside of the "ropes" almost on a weekly basis. There is also no stroke and distance penalty's either, play it from where it lies.
Simon killed the "course-management" aspect of this layout. I never thought he would be able to pull off a win at a course that had OB EVERYWHERE! I think he had only one OB stroke in the final nine. He KILLED and PARKED so many upshots that it made Paul have to "risk" and run more shots than normal for him.
That said, Paul was the UBER PRO during his loss to Simon. He was smiling, laughing, was in high spirits, he even told others when they had good shots, he had several "low-fives" off the tee for Simon when he crushed a drive.
The final hole was pretty epic too, Nates crazy roller, Simon's crush over the water, Paul risking his only swirly Destroyer (with him at the moment) to send it as well. JohnE stepping up to the tee and laying down his own smashed shot to show the young'ens he can still throw the long disc!
