Goydos Falls Just Short

Cal State Long Beach grad and America's weekend darling Paul Goydos played 71 tremendous holes at The Player's Championship before missing what would have been the winning putt on 18 and hitting his tee shot into the water on the first playoff hole.

The famed island green on the 17th at the TPC did the Long Beach native, Wilson graduate and former substitute teacher in, but he was still all smiles.

The most interesting part
of the 43-year olds run was the hat he wore. With his sponsorship expired he picked up a new cap at the airport LIDS last week. It had a gold LB insigna and "Dirtbags" written across the bottom left side.

Coach Weathers joked "it was the best publicity I could have asked for."
