Reader's Forum The Masters and PGA Championships use a sudden death playoff format. The U.S. Open uses an 18-hole playoff, while the British Open uses a three-hole aggregate playoff to break its ties. Which of the three formats do you prefer and why -- or would you like to see another format implemented? Let us know your opinions by sending your responses to info@gpagolf.com with the subject line RE: playoff. Also include your first initial and last name, along with your email address. |
