The Limerick Summary: 2019 Australian PGA Championship

Winner: Adam Scott

Around the wider world of golf: To the best of my knowledge, this event was the last one of the year. [UPDATE: I forgot that Jazz Janewattananond won the Thailand Masters.]

It's shocking but it happened! In the last event of 2019, my Twofer Tuesday picks got the job done. I had Adam Scott (1) to win and Cameron Smith (T10) to Top10. It's a major accomplishment for me this year, and I'd like to thank both men for finishing my year with a bang!

• Winners: 4 for 50
• Place well (Top10): 22 for 50 (13 Top5s, 9 more Top10s)
• Overall Top10s: 41 of 100 (25 Top5s, 16 more Top10s)

Of course, Adam Scott made the biggest bang of the bunch. His last minute charge in the final round, beginning with the birdie-eagle combo on 14 and 15 that gave him the lead for good over Michael Hendry. And while Hendry turned out to be Adam's major challenge, he certainly wasn't the only golfer to make a play for the trophy.

I think that is a huge win for Adam, in particular going into 2020. He hadn't won at the European or PGA Tours because 2016, the Australasian Tour due to the fact that 2013 or the Asian Tour on the grounds that 2010. To get this win -- especially a first-rate at the Australasian Tour -- proper at the tails of his solid Presidents Cup play can only be an encouragement to him.

And he'll have the vacations to allow this victory simmer in his mind, perhaps erupting into a boil of opportunities in time for his first event in 2020.

In the intervening time, I'll deliver him this Limerick Summary -- the ultimate considered one of 2019, via the way -- as a gift, in hopes that it'll make the season a piece brighter around the Scott household.

Sees Adam with motive to cheer.

Though he went via a drought,

Seems he worked his way out
