Big Jack excused himself instantly, bouncing his tee shot off a tree, running his approach clear over the green. Geiberger missed an eight-foot putt for a birdie. Littler apologetically stroked his own 22-footer straight into the cup ("If it hadn't been downhill, it wouldn't have gone in") and walked off with the biggest purse he has ever...
