Martin Laird stood on the 18th green with two putts between himself and a title at The Barclays. Turns out he needed three. With Jim Nantz and company praising Laird's extraordinary putting today--awful foreshadowing if we ever heard it--Laird sent his first putt about 10 feet past the hole, setting himself up for a putt that was eerily similar to his birdie save on the 17th.
Alas, the second putt had no chance. None. It was off the line from the start and only broke further away.
Laird must now face Matt Kuchar in a sudden death playoff for the tournament crown.
