Winner: Corey Conners
Around the wider world of golf: Jennifer Kupcho won the inaugural Augusta National Women's Amateur; Jin Young Ko got her first major at the LPGA's ANA Inspiration; Daan Huizing made golfing history by becoming the first player to win the Jordan Mixed Open, a full-field mixed professional tournament on the ET/LET (yes, that means men and women playing against each other in the same event, and Meghan MacLaren finished runner-up); Leona Maguire won the Windsor Golf Classic on the Symetra Tour; Jun-Won Park won the Novil Cup on the Japan Golf Tour; and Sadom Kaewkanjana won the Bangabandhu Cup Golf Open on the Asian Tour.
Tuesday Twofer alternatives are without a doubt NOT going in accordance to plot. I picked Aaron Baddeley (T30) to win and Abraham Ancer (T42) to Top10. After the first day or so I concept I would possibly have completed better this week but unluckily, it changed into no longer to be.
- Winners: 2 for 14
- Place well (Top10): 8 for 14 (4 Top5 finish, 4 more Top10s)
- Overall Top10s: 15 of 28 (6 Top5s, 9 more Top10s)
Corey Conners likely does not care how I did with my Twofer Tuesday picks. After all, he ultimately snagged his first Tour win. He had a close to pass over last October at the Sanderson Farms Championship. But Sunday ought to have been a real take a look at of nerves.
Check out his scorecard: He birdied four of his first five holes, then bogeyed the subsequent 4, and completed with six birdies on the lower back nine. His terrible spouse Malory gave the impression of she turned into loss of life by the point he reached the 18th inexperienced! When she leapt into his hands after he holed out, she asked him if this became actual.
Corey better get used to it being actual, and get used to it short. He wishes to get to Augusta these days, considering the fact that he snagged the very last spot inside the Masters field along with his win. He no longer has to Monday qualify for events -- he Monday-certified for Valero, if you failed to recognise -- and he's locked up his Tour card for a couple of years or so. And he qualified for a bunch of key activities.
Of path, he also picked up his first Limerick Summary, but it is able to take him a while earlier than he realizes that. It's a large honor to technique, after all.
With best 3 pars on the cardboard,
Poor Corey was operating so difficult
To get the activity accomplished
That, after he won,
His wife’s nerves were falling apart. The photo came from this page at pgatour.com.
