Drainage issue 15 approach

After the 2 inch rain the golf course received last week we had some issues with the approach to 15 green.  two big wet spot developed in front of the green and water was running down the hill into the fairway.  After eliminating that it was not an irrigation leak.  We located the drain lines coming off the front of 15 green that travel down hill to south of 15 of green and fairway.  We discovered the drain line was clogged with tree roots.  The green could not drain with the amount of rain we received so drain pipe filled up with water and came out at the connections that were in front of green. Below is some pic's of our fix.
