HISTORY LESSON

Viewers watching ABC's telecast of the Monday playoff were treated to Loren Roberts sinking a clutch putt to tie Ernie Els and force sudden death. However, couch potatoes missed Roberts' six-foot putt to save par at the first extra hole when the network switched to breaking news on the arraignment of O.J. Simpson. (Clearly Judge Ito wasn't a golf fan.) Roberts lost to Els on the next hole.
