Winner: Matt Kuchar
Around the wider world of golf: Charley Hull won the Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Open, the first LET event of the season.
An ice hurricane took out our energy and TV for nearly 18 hours on Sunday, so I handiest were given to see Kuchar's very last couple of holes at the Sony. But in the end I guess it become his final holes that instructed the entire tale.
Matt commenced the week with returned-to-lower back 63s and completed with returned-to-lower back 66s. He had the lead going into the final round. But three bogeys in his first 5 holes -- 3 times more bogeys than he had made within the first three rounds -- might have spelled the stop of his bid earlier than it even began.
But it failed to. Shooting five-beneath on the returned nine positioned the match out of attain to the opposite players, and Matt picked up his second win in 3 begins.
It seems the ocean breeze brings out the shark in our quiet little Kuchar. Who knew?
Now the question becomes whether a 40-yr-antique Matt Kuchar is prepared to chunk up the competition in some massive activities this 12 months. I do not know but, even though this is surely a first rate begin to a season wherein the massive occasions come difficult and speedy. But one element I do realize -- two Limerick Summaries in 3 begins bodes very well for his limerick series.
So Kuchar?S on top yet again.
When he plays near an ocean, he grins
As he sprints to the the front
Of the sphere. Let?S be blunt:
All he lacks is a big dorsal fin! The photo came from this page at pgatour.com.
