Two great competitors prepare for the play-off

Waiting for the green to clear

Alex almost collapses with nerves

But recovers in time for a sporting handshake

Ben sends his tee shot to the lower tier of the green

Alex puts his squarely on the upper tier

There are some pitchmarks to be repaired

Ben putts up the slope to about 5 feet

Alex gets inside but the hole is halved

Ben finds a bunker on the 2nd play-off hole

Up and out, but not very far

Alex pretends he hit the green by repairing a mythical pitchmark

Ben's chip goes scuttling past the hole

This needs to go down to make Alex putt

Nope, it slides by the left-hand side

Alex celebrates while Ben, smiling on the outside, wonders where to stick his putter
