It remained nip and tuckdown the final stretch, with Micheel edging ahead again with a birdie at 33, and Karlsson had to hole a six foot putt at 35 to keep the game alive.
But Tuck sacked him on third down on the Patriots' next possession, forcing a punt, and the game took on a similar feeling to that 17-14 Giants upset in Super Bowl XLII: the Giants weren't going away.
