Inherit the River "Cutter" is Handling on the Long Bird...

....after three nice marks, including the long flyer. .. just as Rob put his hand down and sent him, Cutter looked off to the left. The catbird was talking and let me tell you--that catbird can be loud, and is close, and is down where the short retired bird is...may not have had a thing to do with it, but everything happened within that split second...and furthermore, it just took one cast, from down there, to take Cutter all the way to the long retired. That hurts...
