Here's a recap of the chaotic, entertaining finish at the Creator Classic at Philly Cricket, part of the PGA TOUR YouTube series:

🏆 Winners: Team Richards (Josh Richards, Brad Dalke, Erik Anders Lang)

Victory Details:

• Format: 3-player alternate-shot over 8 holes on Wissahickon Course, par-4 18th used for playoff.

• Playoff Drama:

  • Team Richards won with a bogey on the playoff hole.

  • Team Brownlee (Brownlee/Walsh/Andolpho) imploded with a triple bogey, including a flubbed bunker shot and an over-the-green blast.

  • Josh Richards sealed it with a clutch bunker shot, followed by a two-putt to secure the W.

🔥 Playoff Path:

• Team Brownlee earned medalist honors with a round of 3-over 34, five strokes ahead.

• Team Richards tied at 8-over 39 with two other teams, advancing via chip-off:

  • Dalke chipped it to 3 feet, beating out Paige Spiranac (15 feet) and Josh Kelley.

  • This earned them the second playoff spot and ultimately the win.

💥 Highlights & Chaos:

• Josh Richards (16 handicap) drained a 23-foot par putt on hole 16, critical in reaching the playoff.

• Tyler Toney chipped in for birdie on the same hole, keeping Team Toney in the fight temporarily.

• Spiranac: “That format is so chaotic … I prefer alt-shot to stroke play. You want to watch us die out here, and that is exactly what happened.”
