""I always try to think of a positive shot, so when I'm trying to hit a good shot, I think of a shot that I've already hit. "I wanted Wheatley to have a good showing, so I'm glad to be that representative that qualified and ultimately held the trophy at the end."įor Demeo, his familiarity of the course certainly paid dividends, as he could think back to quality shots he's hit through the years.
"I felt an obligation to play well and protect the house," said Demeo after the win. His lag resulted in a conceded par, and when Jeter missed his par look, Demeo's win was in the books. Meanwhile, Demeo, hitting his 12th fairway in 16 driving attempts in the match, landed his approach just short, allowing it to feed downhill onto the green some 30 feet from the hole. He could not find the green with his second, which was difficult due to tree interference, then pitched his third well beyond the hole. Jeter's drive on the next, the par-four 2nd and their 20th hole, went well right into a parallel fairway. After driving near the left out of bounds fence and leaving his restricted-swing second shot short of the green, Jeter pitched his third to around 10 feet, but converted the putt to extend the match. Playing the first hole, Demeo made routine par while Jeter once again had to grind to match Demeo. Demeo missed his par attempt, while Jeter calmly converted his to square the match for the first time since the 11th hole. Demeo's putt was an exceedingly slow one, coming up seven feet short, while Jeter slid his birdie try two feet long. Jeter's drive was right of the fairway, and though his second shot had potential interference from power lines, his 120-yard wedge found the green, 30 feet below the hole. On 18, Demeo hit his approach on the green, but some 50 feet across the green from the right hole location. 13-17 with pars, Jeter grinding for his compared to Demeo. After halves on the next three holes, Demeo took the lead, converting an uphill six-footer for birdie on the par-five 12th just after Jeter missed a birdie bid of his own from eight feet.
A chip within inches gave him a 1-up lead, but he gave it back with a bogey on the 8th hole when he couldn't get up and down from the back left swale. On the uphill, par-five 6th hole, Demeo's drive in the fairway set him up to hit a fairway wood approach just over the green. In the final match, Demeo and Jeter halved the first five holes, with an early highlight coming on the second hole as Jeter made a 25-foot birdie putt after conceding Demeo's 6-inch birdie putt.
