The Limerick Summary: 2019 WGC-Mexico

Winner: Dustin Johnson

Around the wider world of golf: Amy Yang won her third Honda LPGA Thailand title; Martin Trainer got his first PGA Tour win at the Puerto Rico Open, the Tour's alternate field event; Marianne Skarpnord won the Pacific Bay Resort Australian Ladies Classic at Bonville on the LET; and Jazz Janewattananond won the SMBC Singapore Open on the Asian Tour.

First, my outcomes from closing week: I picked Tiger Woods (T10) to win and Justin Thomas (9) to Top10. While my winner percent is not remarkable, I'm doing pretty properly for Top10 finishes:

• Winners: 2 for 8
• Place well (Top10): 6 for 8 (3 Top5 finish, 3 more Top10s)
• Overall Top10s: 11 of 16 (5 Top5s, 6 more Top10s)

I thought Tiger might make a run on Saturday but the greens caught up with him (as they did for almost everybody except DJ). Still, I feel pretty good about my record so far this year. I remember plenty of years where I didn't fare this well, even when picking five players at majors.

I can actual say that I failed to actually have DJ in my sights at this event. I recognise he gained back in 2017, but it's the 12 months he changed into gambling so properly simply earlier than getting injured in the course of Masters Week. While he's played nicely considering the fact that -- six worldwide wins after that WGC win -- it didn't appear to me that he became pretty again in that dominant form.

His performance this week has made me rethink. He really blitzed the sphere, even widening his margin over Rory inside the final spherical (5 strokes over 2d vicinity, ten strokes over 1/3). His personal feedback after the spherical confirmed that he believes his recreation is subsequently geared up for the majors again. And although he likely may not say it, I suspect he's already planning to wipe that confident smirk off the face of 1 Brooks Koepka.

No, DJ hasn't forgotten that some think "Little Brother" is better than him. Don't you dare think he has!

With his twentieth Tour win (and accompanying lifetime PGA Tour club), his 6th WGC (second simplest to Tiger), the truth that he will be retaking the number one spot within the OWGR in a week or so (he's simply .64 points in the back of Rose now), and his apparent go back to his 2017 form, DJ has actually positioned himself inside the "main" contender position for the Masters. But inside the interim, he'll should accept a WGC Limerick Summary. We'll see if he can snatch a larger one in the following couple of months!

His 6th World Golf Championship win

And, quickly, Number One once again?

That?S DJ. I?D guess

His eye?S on a prime

Or two, to wipe off Koepka’s grin! The photo came from this page at europeantour.com.
