OGDEN, Utah — The moment came on hole 16, staring up at the elevated basket from his perch in the bunker below, 45 feet out. Already committed to one penalty stroke and facing the possibility of another should his putt clear the basket and find the bunker—as it inevitably would if he put anything close to a full bid on it and missed—it was decision time for Calvin Heimburg.
That bodes well for what promises to be a thrilling and battle-filled final two days in Utah.

OGDEN, Utah — You’re standing on the 14th tee and already 10-under par for the round when you start to do the math. Birdie a few more, and you can get to 11, maybe 12. Birdie them all, and–who knows—maybe you can run away with this thing.
