Winner: Tyrrell Hatton
Around the wider world of golf: Jeff Maggert won the Charles Schwab Cup Championship on the Champions Tour, but Scott McCarron picked up the Charles Schwab Cup itself; Ai Suzuki won the TOTO Japan Classic on the LPGA; Puma Domínguez (what a cool name!) won the Neuquén Argentina Classic on the PGA TOUR Latinoamérica; Ho-Sung Choi won the HEIWA PGM Championship on the Japan Golf Tour; and John Catlin won the Thailand Open on the Asian Tour.
Not a bad week for my Twofer Tuesday picks. I had Bernd Wiesberger (49) to win and Kurt Kitiyama (T2) to Top10, and Kurt very nearly won the thing!
- Winners: 3 for 45
- Place well (Top10): 19 for 45 (11 Top5s, 8 more Top10s)
- Overall Top10s: 36 of 90 (21 Top5s, 15 more Top10s)
There have best been two different six-man playoffs in ET history, the closing coming in 2003. If the Tour desired to get the Race to Dubai Playoffs off to a scorching start, this became certainly the way to do it!
Tyrrell chipped in for birdie on the primary playoff hollow to hold his hopes alive after which, as darkness fell over the path and the Tour turned at the synthetic lights, he held on to win with a par on the fourth playoff hole against Schwab.
It became his first win in multiple years, and it couldn't have come at a better time for him. It jumped him all of the way to #6 within the Race to Dubai standings. With just two weeks left inside the Playoffs I do not know if he's were given sufficient time to win the component. But I'm guessing he will end properly sufficient to have a extremely good Christmas, don't you?
And of course, he picked up a shiny new Limerick Summary. Let's not underestimate how much that means!
He started the day 3 in the back of?
But winning was on Tyrrell’s mind!
