Tom Lewis with the Korn Ferry Tour Championship trophy

My Twofer Tuesday picks took a last minute hit after I made my choices. I had Scottie Scheffler (T7) to win and Anirban Lahiri (WD) to Top10. Lahiri withdrew on Friday -- well after my picks -- because his family was in Hurricane Dorian's way (my Disney trip was cancelled because of Dorian as well, so I certainly understand his reasons) and while Scheffler finally ran out of gas, he did at least finish in the Top10.

  • Winners: 2 for 35
  • Place well (Top10): 16 for 35 (9 Top5s, 7 more Top10s)
  • Overall Top10s: 29 of 70 (15 Top5s, 14 more Top10s)
The winner's story seems almost unbelievable, doesn't it? Tom Lewis wasn't even planning to play -- he had his ET card for 2020 -- but his agent said he had enough FedExCup points to qualify so why not give it a shot? Then Tom comes in for the very last event of the Finals, rips the field apart and walks away with a PGA Tour card, doing so in record-setting fashion. This is the hardest course on the Korn Ferry Tour and all Tom did was win with a -23 total, after the last two years had seen winning scores of -6.

Alright... To be honest, the direction became a piece tender and 32 gamers shot -7 or better. But Tom turned into five shots clear of the runner-up, which is extraordinary in its personal proper.

It's quite smooth to bypass this off as playing with a lack of stress on account that Tom already had a excursion to play next season, however he is had his proportion of issues to conquer consisting of chipping yips. Now he has every other problem, for the reason that he has to stability gambling time on two excursions. They say he talked to Justin Rose approximately it and became informed that the balancing act is hard.

We've additionally heard that Tom in reality likes heat weather. ;-)

While Tom kinds out the pluses and minuses of his diverse options, I'll simply congratulate him with this Limerick Summary that asks the burning question on all of our minds.
