Well, Ervin Chang pulled it off at the Yeangder Tournament Players Championship. The greens were nasty, the scorecards were even nastier, and the leaderboard was so crammed you’d think they were all sharing a single, slightly-too-small golf cart. Chang, Pavit Tangkamolprasert, and Chien-yao Hung all ended up at eight-under, forcing everyone to squint at the rulebook like it was written in ancient hieroglyphs.
Turns out, deciding the winner wasn't so much about out-golfing each other as it was about collectively understanding how golf loves to mess with you. A real democratic moment, I guess, for better or worse. Kazuki Higa and Wei-hsuan Wang were breathing down their necks, just a single stroke back, but the real show was the main event: the tie. Chang snagged the win through methods I suspect are as predictable as a squirrel’s next move, which, in this game, means he managed to avoid the truly soul-crushing blunders for four whole days. Pretty good, if you ask me.
