The Limerick Summary: 2019 Safeway Open

Winner: Cameron Champ

Around the wider world of golf: Victor Perez got his first ET win at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship; Mi Jung Hur went wire-to-wire at the LPGA's Indy Women in Tech Championship; Marta Sanz Barrio won the IOA Golf Classic on the Symetra Tour; Kirk Triplett won his third PURE Insurance Championship on the Champions Tour; Shad Tuten won his first PGA TOUR Latinoamérica title at the 66 JHSF Aberto do Brasil; Carlota Ciganda won the Estrella Damm Mediterranean Ladies Open on the LET; Toshinori Muto won the Panasonic Open Golf Championship on the Japan Golf Tour; and Yuxin Lin won his second Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship title in three years.

A so-so week for my Twofer Tuesday picks. I had Justin Thomas (T4) to win and Ryan Moore (MC) to Top10. Although JT didn't win, he did add an overall Top10 to my stats.

• Winners: 2 for 39
• Place well (Top10): 17 for 39 (9 Top5s, 8 more Top10s)
• Overall Top10s: 31 of 78 (16 Top5s, 15 more Top10s)

As has been the case for the last two events of the new wraparound season, our winner this week was unexpected. Cameron Champ has won before, of course, but his game hasn't been particularly sharp since his first win. Add to that his grandpa's current battle with stomach cancer and Cam's daily visits to visit him in hospice care -- for those of you unfamiliar with hospice, it's not a good sign -- and you just wouldn't expect him to have his mind on golf.

So it probably comes as no marvel that Cam defied our expectations and were given his second Tour victory. It turned into a tight end; Adam Hadwin went crazy on the again nine and Cam went to the 18th tee tied for the lead. But after suffering along with his motive force -- traditionally the strongest club in his bag -- Cam piped it down the 18th fairway and allow his quick game -- traditionally the weakest a part of his recreation -- do what it had finished all week.

The one-stroke victory left Cam in tears as he talked about his grandpa, the man who is accountable for his profession in golf. Perhaps it was the perspective of what's vital that had kept away from Cam recently, I don't know. But I recognise that he found the proper stability among golf and existence this week.

And he additionally located a second Limerick Summary to feature to the relaxation of his match swag, at the side of my nice wishes to his grandpa.
