Wow. Talk about gut check. Chris Couch stands on the 17th tee with a two shot lead over Funk, who's in the clubhouse, and Howell, his playing partner. He thins a bunker shot and then overcooks the comeback. Sinks a 20-footer for bogey. Howell pars.

OK - par to win, if Howell doesn't birdie the difficult par four 18th. Hits his approach wide right into the back of a bunker - on a downslope. He'll be lucky to keep the ball on the green, much less get it close for the par he needs to keep out of a playoff. Sure enough, he hits the sand fat and leaves the ball in the rough short of the green.

OK - he needs to get down in two to force a playoff. Howell has a 45-footer for birdie and the win if he doesn't sink the pitch shot.

He sinks the pitch shot. Howell misses. Funk shakes his head. Couch wins.

All this after being on the cut number on Friday. Good stuff.

His first PGA win! What a way for him to do it too. Held strong under pressure and didn't crack. Good job Chris.
