Probably the Two Coolest Holes of Golf You'll Ever See

In the waning holes of the Frys.com Open, it was clear that the tournament appeared headed for a playoff. Rocco Mediate was leaking oil all day long, four-over on the day after a birdie on the sixteenth hole that got him back into a share of the lead.

Mediate and playing partners Alex Prugh and Bo Van Pelt headed to the par 4 17th hole, shortened to 295 yards in the final round to encourage aggression off of the tee. Bo Van Pelt went first, selecting driver after deciding with his caddie that he couldn't quite get there with 3-wood. His choice was a good one, as he ended up some 25 feet away from the hole and on the putting surface.

For Rocco, it was a no-brainer. Unable to drive the ball that far, Mediate laid up into the fairway to leave himself a wedge into the green.

Then came Alex Prugh. He confidently addressed the ball with his driver and made a perfect strike. Almost immediately, the crowd around him thought something special was happening. As the ball flew to the hole, Golf Channel had the camera locked on the ball from behind the green - like it was a par 3. It may as well have been. Prugh's perfect shot landed less than a foot away from the hole, and in the soggy conditions, ended just two feet away for a certain eagle.

How would Mediate respond?

With a wedge in his hand, Rocco would hit the perfect little approach. Just a foot and half past the hole to the left, his ball spun back right into the hole. The eagle shocked the crowd, but more importantly, kept Prugh at bay. Bo Van Pelt would three-putt to make up none of the ground from Mediate or Prugh's eagles.

What looked like a tight tournament at two different points during the hole ended in a two shot advantage for Rocco Mediate.

The final hole of the tournament was a 425 yard par 4 that featured a split fairway. Playing left would be the safe bet and give Rocco a better look at par. Instead, Rocco played to the right fairway - as far right as he could to stay safe. Prugh and Van Pelt delivered solid drives, much longer than Mediate. 

Rocco played first and caught a piece of the green, just barely flying over the right greenside bunker. Van Pelt ended about a foot further away than Rocco's on the opposite side of the green after his approach spun back much too far. Prugh hit a great shot past the pin to about eleven feet.

Rocco went first and hit a lag putt past the hole to about four feet. Van Pelt then makes his curler from left to right for an improbable birdie! Prugh, maybe inspired by Van Pelt, then makes his birdie. Now, Mediate must make his putt to avoid a three-way playoff.

Mediate gets up, addresses the putt, and drains it. The Pennsylvania product from Greensburg - the two next to Latrobe - now has six PGA Tour wins and his first since 2002 in Greensboro. It took four different hole outs for the week, including the unreal last one to secure a win that put him back on the map after taking Tiger Woods to the limit at Torrey Pines two years ago.
