Ryan Palmer beat Robert Allenby by one shot at the Sony Open in Honolulu in January to win his third US PGA title, after his chip on the 18th fortuitously hit the pin - "getting away with murder", as one commentator put it - to leave the Texan with the simplest of birdies. Palmer came home 15-under-par at Waialae Country Club, his three bogeys on the last day more than cancelled out by seven birdies, including the one on the 18th. Allenby could have birdied the 18th himself, but he missed a ten foot putt, leaving Palmer with an easy tap-in to claim victory.
