Look to the torrential rains on Friday that pushed htis tournament to a rare Monday finish.Give credit where credit is due.Zach Johnson and Marc Leishmancarded identical 6-under 66s on Monday. In fact, Leishman went 64-66 over the last two rounds, a record, to finish at 15-under.Then Louis Oosthuizen rammed home a birdie putt on 18 to Avery Bradley Jersey join Johnson and Leishman in the four-hole aggregate playoff.And Jordan Spieth had shots in his hands that he executed a remarkable putt on No. 16, for example, for only the second birdie of the day and a couple he'd Landry Shamet Jersey like to do over, ending with a couple of mi sed opportunities. The firstto save par on 17, another for birdie 18, after spinning a wedge from 102 yards into the so-called Valley of Sin."Just tough, just tough," he said after seeing his putt not drop.
