The Limerick Summary: 2020 Sony Open

Winner: Cameron Smith

Around the wider world of golf: Branden Grace won the South African Open on the ET; and Wade Ormsby won the Hong Kong Open on the Asian Tour.

My Twofer Tuesday picks were looking pretty good until the last few holes. As a reminder, this year I'm just picking two Top10ers and will make a note if one of them wins. This week I had Joaquin Niemann (T57) and Collin Morikawa (T21). Joaquin struggled early on -- I guess the excitement of the Presidents Cup finally caught up with him -- and Collin was still in the Top10 when he teed up at the 16th hole on Sunday. Rain took its toll on a lot of players this week.

• Top10s: 2 for 4 (1 Top5, 1 other Top10)
• Winners: 0 for 2 events

Brendan Steele's wind play looked as though it would get him through this week... but the additional rain and changing winds on Sunday made it much tougher for him and everybody else.

As Cameron Smith tried to run him down, the rain played havoc together with his game. Shots that he had hit well all week all at once couldn't locate the golf green and he discovered himself manufacturing pictures from under overhanging tree branches and thick moist difficult in addition to making exacting photographs from wet bunkers. But he did it... And nowhere did he do it higher than on the final hollow of law and the first playoff hollow.

When his 2nd on the 72nd hole located the bunker, he hit a long bunker shot close enough to sink the birdie putt and pressure a playoff. And after his power inside the playoff observed the hard and the timber, he squirted a low runner near enough to make an clean par -- which turned into all he needed.

The long delays between photographs on the closing regulation hollow seemed to affect each person but Smith. The omit within the bunker regarded greater a end result of a bad leap than a poor shot. And simply as he did inside the Presidents Cup, he sucked it up coming down the stretch to get the large win.

Brendan Steele will take a lot of positives faraway from the Sony, as will Cameron Smith. But Smith may even get the trophy, the winner's check and that all-essential Limerick Summary.

He chased Brendan Steele all day lengthy.

Though the rain made his pictures pop out incorrect,

Still he scrambled his way

To a playoff and HEY!

When it counted, he finished off strong. The photo came from this page at golfweek.com.
