| In 2009, golfer Nick
Watney won the Buick Open Invitational when he was three
shots behind with five holes to play.
First came a mini-collapse by
John Rollins, a combination of bad swings and bad breaks.
Then it was a 40-foot
birdie putt across the 16th green by Watney, who remembered
the severity of the slope at the back of the green from when
he three-putted at the U.S. Open last summer at Torrey
Pines.
