Speith played well to be in that position of course, but he didnt go out and snatch the win in the playoff which is what everyones saying and youre not grasping.
It was a 5 hole playoff, they played 18 twice before (parred 3 ways).
The 18th was, wait for it, the 2nd hardest hole on the course, with a stroke average of 4.12. For the week there were 71 birdies, 88 bogeys, and 16 doubles or worse. So yes, par was a pretty good score on that hole, notwithstanding the fact that there are a lot of cupcake holes on the course.
If only there were a resource called the internet where people could look this stuff up, we could get past "I don't remember but it was probably easy".
