Winner: Louis Oosthuizen
Around the wider world of golf: The team of Patton Kizzire and Brian Harman won the QBE Shootout (aka the Shark Shootout); and Adrián Ploch won the III Malinalco Classic on the PGA TOUR Latinoamérica.
It changed into a toss-up as to which occasion I might cover this week. The golf is a chunk thin this time of yr, in spite of everything, and I want to find the best tale. With teams like Kevin Na/Bryson DeChambeau, Harold Varner III/Bubba Watson and Lexi Thompson/Tony Finau inside the area, the QBE Shootout had the potential to be the large story.
Alas, it was not to be. The huge tale became Louis Oosthuizen's leap forward in Johannesburg. It turned into massive sufficient that Louis become decreased to tears and actually unable to do an interview later on.
Why? Because (1) he broke a almost three-yr win drought with the aid of (2) in the end triumphing his very own countrywide Open. He hadn't even performed the occasion in view that 2011. He started the very last spherical with a three-stroke lead, and lost maximum of that before laying down a six-stroke victory -- which, through the manner, tied the file.
Yeah, quite massive stuff.
King Louis has been fighting returned problems for some time. You probable recognise he travels together with his own mattress, simply due to the fact one bad night in a hotel can destroy a tournament. And but that candy swing of his maintains to appearance as if there's not anything wrong. The TV analysts blame his win drought on a balky putter, however I think regular physical issues motive self assurance troubles which might be lots harder to overcome.
This week, Louis subsequently beat them. And it's my outstanding satisfaction to award him but any other Limerick Summary. He's been far from the winner's circle for too lengthy.
It?S been three years given that Louis?S last crown?
But Louis refused to live down.
Now his quality win in years
Brought this domestic boy to tears
