Winner: Justin Thomas
Around the wider world of golf: Nicolas Colsaerts won the Amundi Open de France on the ET; Danielle Kang defended her title at the Buick LPGA Shanghai; Leandro Marelli won the Diners Club Peru Open on the PGA TOUR Latinoamérica; Christine Wolf won the Hero Women’s Indian Open on the LET; Chan Kim won the Japan Open Golf Championship on the Japan Golf Tour; and bad weather forced the Champions Tour to finish the Dominion Energy Charity Classic on Monday morning. Of course, I can't give you the winner of the Challenge: Japan Skins game because it's just getting started as I post this.
My Twofer Tuesday picks finally hit paydirt! I had Justin Thomas (1) to win and Viktor Hovland (T31) to Top10. Viktor had an off week but I can forgive him for that because I finally picked another winner!
- Winners: 3 for 42
- Place well (Top10): 18 for 42 (10 Top5s, 8 more Top10s)
- Overall Top10s: 34 of 84 (19 Top5s, 15 more Top10s)
I've picked JT to play well a few instances over the previous few months but his gambling has been a bit uneven, even though I've seen constant improvement. (That's why I saved selecting him.) But this week he eventually were given it collectively -- at least at an event where I've picked him to win -- in spite of a spirited run with the aid of Danny Lee.
JT's game still would not look to be pretty where it become earlier than his wrist damage early within the season -- the damage that kept him from gambling at the PGA Championship -- however his intellectual recreation appears to be again heading in the right direction. While he won't were as sharp bodily, he become sincerely managing his sport nicely and warding off the mistakes that plagued maximum of the field on the CJ Cup.
I cannot help however assume this win will assist his self assurance -- it was his 2d win in two months, his 10th win within the final 3 seasons (the excellent file on Tour) and his eleventh PGA Tour win ordinary. Which way, of route, that he has extra Limerick Summaries within the remaining three seasons than everyone else. Impressive, huh?
His wrist damage now within the beyond,
JT?S form has returned at long ultimate.
Had YOU written him off?
Thought he?D played his excellent golf?
Well, here’s one more win Justin’s amassed. The photo came from this page at pgatour.com.
