Winner: Pablo Larrazábal
Around the wider world of golf: Anne Van Dam won the Andalucía Costa del Sol Open de España on the LET; Kyung-Tae Kim won the Casio World Open on the Japan Golf Tour; and the KLPGA beat the LPGA 15-9 at the OrangeLife Champions Trophy Park Inbee Invitational team event. (Thanks again, IC!)
My Twofer Tuesday picks went pretty much like normal this week. I had Eddie Pepperell (T19) to win and Brandon Stone (T59) to Top10. I thought Pepperell just got off to a slow start in Round 1, but he crashed and burned in Round 2 and never recovered..
- Winners: 3 for 48
- Place well (Top10): 20 for 48 (12 Top5s, 8 more Top10s)
- Overall Top10s: 37 of 96 (22 Top5s, 15 more Top10s)
And permit's be sincere, after entering the final round with a 3-shot lead, he didn't look to do a good deal better this week. After waking up with intense blisters on his proper foot, he proceeded to shoot a six-over forty one on the front nine to lose his lead and perhaps even his danger to win. Before it become over, he had taken six bogeys and a double...
Before making birdies on three of the ultimate 4 holes to win by one over Joel Sjoholm.
Pablo is just the latest player to be inspired by Tiger ("I said to myself, ‘If Tiger can win a U.S. Open with a broken leg…’ and I just fought hard”) and pull out an unexpected win. Hopefully he pulled out some medicine for those blisters as well! Perhaps his first win in four-and-a-half years -- and a shiny new Limerick Summary -- will ease the pain while he heals.
The subject began out 3 in the back of?
Then Pablo shot plus six for nine!
He gave the look to be achieved
But he went on a run?
Got the win and (I hope) calamine. The photo came from this page at gulf-times.com.
