AKRON, Ohio Facing a difficult shot over water to a tiny target on the 16th hole, Charley Hoffman knew there was only one shot he wanted to play.Hoffman was three shots behind Hideki Matsuyama with only three holes to go, and while caddie Brett Waldman suggested he lay up on the par-5, Hoffman was adamant that he needed to go for it and play for the win after coming up short several times this year, including a playoff loss last week at the RBC Canadian Open.Hoffmans shot bounded just over the green, and while he failed to convert the birdie chance he still stood by the decision after a 4-under 66 left him alone in third place, six shots behind Matsuyama.
"I'm tired of finishing second."@hoffman_charley is here to win. pic.twitter.com/1JxZzXbavF— PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) August 6, 2017If I wanted to finish solo second or something like that and not take on any risk, its a layup, Hoffman said. Hidekis not known to go backwards when he has a lead So I thought I needed to make a few birdies coming in obviously, and I thought the best opportunity was going for it.Hoffman made an early charge up the leaderboard with four birdies over his first seven holes, but he made two back-nine bogeys and wasnt able to keep pace as Matsuyama tied the course record with a closing 61.Another high finish bolsters Hoffmans chances of making his first Presidents Cup squad this fall, and the go-for-broke attitude may soon make another appearance as the veterans search for his first win since the 2016 Valero Texas Open continues.As I tell everybody, I play this game not to finish second. I play to win, Hoffman said. Seconds are great, dont get me wrong, but when you look back on the end of your career, you dont look at how many second-place finishes you have. Im lacking a little bit in that category, and I want to add some more to it.

I watched it all and I did not see anything slow although it is tough to determine on TV. The announcers never mentioned anything except maybe that they were on the clock. I am sure Hatton had some nerve issues and maybe blamed the clock. It reminds me how many times I see a pro miss a short putt and they immediately tamp down spike mark.
