2006 Puttgate

Elliot defeated Ben Goor

Simply known as "Puttgate" the 2006 event was overshadowed by the events on the 18th green at the end of the Singles. With the match in the balance and needing to make only a tiddler of a putt to secure the points Grant's ball drifted painfully to the left of the hole. Jack, gracious as ever, was noticeably quiet at this moment and, over the laughing of Bill (more of a doubling up and rolling around on the floor kind of reaction), kindly congratulated Grant.

Setting the field for future Rookie success Matt "Miguel Sanchez" Thompson arrived on the tour like a Mexican dervish and wore his national attire to the final night dinner. His victory over Matt Leal was a triumph for El Banditos and may have forced early retirement that much closer for Leal.
