SA Open - Andy Sullivan

[tsped83]

Go on lad, rooting for you!

Very tense coming down the 18th with Schwartzel making hard work of it.

Was very lucky to play with Andy Sullivan 2 years ago at the GM Ping day in Gainsborough. Top bloke, very humble and great fun to play with.

Hoping he can go on and win.

What a shot he's played there:thup:

And the response from Charl

Sullivan's 2nd was unbelievable! Go on lad!

 

[Foxholer]

That's the sort of drama that playoffs are all about!

Feel sorry for Schwartzel, but fabulous result for Sullivan!

 

[Imurg]

Good win for thenLad but one hell of a choke from Charle...
Only 13 worse scores than his today from 66 players - you don't win tournaments with a final round like that very often.
Sets Sullivan up for a couple of years..

Agree, feel for Schwartzel, he looked lost. A bit like me on the 1st tee...

Great result for Andy especially after the way yesterday went for him - Let's hope it's the first of many.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Good on him.

 

[PhilTheFragger]

was watching and wasnt surprised that Lady Luck decided to leave Schwartzel, he was riding his luck yesterday and it all went wrong today
was 5 up with 5 to play, just imploded. Hope he bounces back as that would have hurt big time, especially at his home open.

Credit to Sulli, 2nd playoff shot was a blinder

Nice to see our course record holder get his first win. He won our big amateur competition, Selbourne Salver, a few years back. Matt Fitzpatrick won two years ago, so hopefully he can get his first professional win soon.

Really really pleased for Sulli! I was also lucky enough to play with the little guy at the Ping Pro Am at Gainsborough. He was a great laugh and really really friendly.

I think he also played last year at the Ping Day at the Centurion didn't he? Who played with him?...lucky omen...

Rick, He did play and IIRC he had the lowest score on the day. Do not remember who playing in his group though.

Just found the video from the day with his team members....

It was a great win and certainly a surprise, when I looked at the leaderboard this morning Schwartzel was about 5 ahead and I didn't think he'd choke.

It's great to see our boys winning all over the world.

I watched it all over the last few days and he didn't just choke, his luck ran out as he wasn't playing that well anyway, hardly hitting any fairways but always scrambling well, I suppose that's all that matters at times but then he tried to play concentrative and with not playing well anyway, it but him back.

Excellent 1st win for Andy, he's a top bloke, a real character who I've had the pleasure to be around here in Warwickshire, I'm chuffed for him.

Watched the first hour of Sunday broadcast from golf channel coverage, no wonder golf participation is declining if that was supposed to get people interested

Over 50% of broadcast time on ad-breaks (I timed it) and what course footage they had was restricted to putts only with the odd approach shot or chip

Congrats to AS but hope he's not looking to find decent footage as a keepsake
