My putt from there came up 3 inches short, then started rolling back down the hill. I intercepted it on the way back down for a 4. One guy's ball did stop by the hole, only because a piece of Spanish Moss had blown next to the hole as his putt approached. I'd never seen an unplayable green before in the Villages.
If you "intercepted" it, you had a 6 or a DQ---just ask Mickleson
