On Tuesday, November 4th Las Vegas had some of the biggest hitters in all of golf compete at the Paiute Golf Resort for the 2014 Re/Max World Long Drive Championship.
On Tuesday night, Jeff Flagg of Pelham, Alabama, won $250,000 and captured the title by a mere 13 inches.
In the finals were Flagg and Jeff Crittenden of Grensboro, North Carolina. And, with a 10-20 mph wind blowing across the range, both hit their final drives 365 yards. Flagg's settled 20 inches past the 365-yard marker, while Crittenden's stopped seven inches past the marker, which is the shortest margin of victory in the event's 20-year history.
