craig parry eagles the last

One of the purest golf shots I've ever seen. Craig Parry knocked his 6-iron from 176 yards out into the cup for eagle at the 18th yesterday, the first playoff hole against his competitor Scott Verplank at the Ford Doral Open. The eagle put a quick, but stirring end to the playoff. Parry gives unathletic types hope they can still win on the tour against all those other guys who are in the fitness mobile. Perhaps there's something in the name Craig because there's another Craig who was not into fitness either who's done very well for himself on the PGA and now Champions Tour.

Well done, Craig! You were contemplating retiring from the PGA tour in 2002 and almost missed your tee time on Thursday because of oversleeping. Well now you can put all those thoughts of retiring to bed!
