72 holes. 14 hours. 100 degree heat. 1 winner.
Erick Lindgren took down his $340k golfing prop bet at Bear's Best golf course.
After starting the day at 5:45am ("I had to run to catch up with him on the first hole. I wasn't even ready yet." said his caddy), Lindgren made it through his first two rounds with relative ease. However, he started grinding towards the end of his third round. But after shooting a 48 on his final front nine and being at 69 after 13, the buy-outs began. Gavin Smith, who was originally in for $100k, bought out for $60k. Chris Bell and others bought out as well. Ivey remained on the hook for his full amount.
Catch a brief recap of the action on The TOKE on RawVegas.tv below and coverage of the entire day's play tomorrow afternoon
UPDATE: Last reported Lindgren shot high 80's on the first two rounds and finished the front nine at 46 in the third round. I'll post updates if I hear anything before my game. For those interested, here is the course: http://www.bearsbest.com/lv_holes.asp
Who is getting hustled here?
VS. 
Bear's Best got a call from Gavin Smith last night saying that Erick Lindgren accepted a $100,000 prop bet with the following rules:
:: He had to play four rounds of golf at Bear's Best in one day.
:: He had to walk all four rounds back-to-back-to-back-to-back.
:: He'd be shooting from the pro tees.
:: He had to shoot under 100 on all rounds.
Within 15 minutes, Phil Ivey added another $200k to the bet, and with a few others jumping in since, the total is now close to $350k. Don't forget it's over 100 degrees in Vegas.
As of about an hour or so ago Lindgren had completed the first round successfully.
And this is from Phil Ivey's Full Tilt chat earlier today:
Phil Ivey: 200k
Phil Ivey: heres the bet
Phil Ivey: i bet him he couldn't walk 18 holes 4 times in today and break 100 all for times and he has to do it on one of the most hilliest golf courses in vegas.
HitRockBottom1: LOL
Phil Ivey: and he has to carry his bag
Phil Ivey: he has already done it twice and he just called me and told me he couldn't feel his knees
Phil Ivey: lmao

Jd,
That's great news, I'm sure if you're playing solid your results will get even better. I'm glad someone else is taking advantage of these L.A. players!
Good luck and keep me updated.
