Sudden Death Playoff Decides it all in the Mens Open at the Montgomerie Dubai

The Final round of the 2012 AGMC BMW Men’s Open saw plenty of excitement with James Yeomans and Paul King tying for the title with a combined score of 148.

The players then had to play the treacherous 18th hole in a sudden death playoff.

Yeomans elected to take an iron tee while King seleted three wood. Both players were safely in play on the their drives and both hit good second shot lay ups. Yeomans had a longer shot in to the green of about 160 yards straight in to the breeze which he hit on to the front fridge about 20 feet away.

King hit his third to about 18 feet left of the hole. Yeomans putted first hitting his putt 5 feet by while King knocked his within a foot for an easy par. Yeomans missed the comebacker and the title was King’s. In the net division Valery Zabrodin shot a net 134 to defeat Hyun Suk Jung by 2 shots.
