Gunnarsson Sweeps to Title as Levinson Self-Destructs
It wasn't the best day for the trio at Harbin Park, but Gunnar Gunnarsson was able to maintain a lead over the last few holes and solidify his three-stroke victory. The final standings read:
-2 Gunnarsson
+1 Ross
+6 Levinson
In the midst of the back nine, Levinson unravelled like a roll of toilet-paper hurled at eighty miles an hour. A disastrous trifecta of bogies -- two double-bogies and a single in succession -- ended Levinson's run. In the process, Levinson hit four trees, two large bushes, a small dog and also felled a bird.
Gunnarsson narrowly avoided injury on 18 while pitching from the tree-line. During the throw, his foot became tangled in a tree-root, and the golfer fell to the ground yelling. Fortunately, there was no injury and Gunnarsson turned out to be screaming at his caddy for not warning him about the lie.
"I want that tree root removed, now!" Gunnarsson insisted, while being physically separated from his caddy. Park officials indicated that they would remove the root because the golfer attracts such large galleries to the event.
The controversial Gunnarsson is slated to be featured in a "Behind the Glory" episode on ESPN-8 sometime in 2006.
