Jamie Lovemark Is Living Right

Before this week, Jamie Lovemark wasn't a household name. He'd made one cut this season on the PGA Tour. He is 21-years-old, with the face of a 17-year-old and the clothes of a 43-year-old. Whatever he is, one thing's for sure -- Lovemark has grasped the "luck" concept in golf.

On Sunday, Lovemark joined eventual champion Troy Matteson and Rickie Fowler in a playoff at the Frys.com Open, and after booming a drive on the first playoff hole, Jamie was left a short iron to a green guarded by a pond. Fowler and Matteson were both safely on the green, but without real birdie opportunities. Lovemark had a chance. Well, until he pushed his iron shot well right of the green, directly in the lake, only to have it pop out.



It is still one of the luckiest breaks I've ever seen on a golf course. Sure, balls skip off water all the time, but to have it completely submerged only to come back out, on land, and stay there, is as lucky as it gets.

Lovemark eventually lost on the next playoff hole, but that shot will be the one remembered from this week's PGA Tour tournament.
