Jay Don Blake watched his putt lip out and figured his best shot at winning was finished.
Mark O'Meara just doesn't miss putts inside 8 feet, in a playoff nonetheless.
"I've got my hand out of my pocket waiting to shake his hand is what I was kind of doing," Blake said. "I didn't expect him to miss it."
But O'Meara watched his putt slide to the right on the first playoff hole, and Blake had another chance that he took advantage of with a birdie Sunday to win the Boeing Classic for his third career Champions Tour title.
Playing the par-5 18th hole for the third time in less than an hour, Blake tapped in for birdie after O'Meara's 15-foot birdie attempt missed on the low side of the hole. Blake and O'Meara also birdied the hole in regulation for matching 4-under 68s that left them tied at 10-under 206. They missed short birdie putts on the first extra hole.
