The Coming of Sasquatch
Tony Viviano became the first player from the 2006 rookie class to find the winner’s circle. Playing in only his 3rd tournament, he claimed the 2006 Plymouth Open title after finishing at 2-over par 72 with David Randall. When Randall was not available for a playoff, Viviano became the first player ever to win a playoff without striking a putt.
Wielding a Nike Sasquatch driver, Viviano has instantly become one of the Tour’s longest off the tee. He hit 6 of 13 fairways and 11 of 18 greens at Hilltop GC while surviving the slick greens. He needed only 15 putts on the back nine, lowest in the field, as he played the final 9 holes in 1-under par 34.
