Winner: Dylan Frittelli
Around the wider world of golf: Sei Young Kim won the Marathon Classic on the LPGA; Retief Goosen won the Bridgestone SENIOR PLAYERS on the Champions Tour; Nelson Ledesma won the TPC Colorado Championship on the Korn Ferry Tour; Patty Tavatanakit won the Donald Ross Classic on the Symetra Tour; Paul Barjon won the Osprey Valley Open on the Mackenzie Tour; and Bernd Wiesberger won the Aberdeen Standard Investments Scottish Open on the ET.
God bless Collin Morikawa! My Tuesday Twofer picks did better this week, thanks to him. I picked Viktor Hovland (T16) to win and Collin Morikawa (T4) to Top10. Hovland didn't win but he was only one shot out of the Top10 and posted yet another low-60s on Sunday, which was what I expected from him. Things are finally looking up!
- Winners: 2 for 28
- Place well (Top10): 12 for 28 (7 Top5 finish, 5 more Top10s)
- Overall Top10s: 23 of 56 (12 Top5s, 11 more Top10s)
It all got here all the way down to Jordan Spieth's college teammate Dylan Frittelli, who, not like Spieth, has struggled in view that popping out on Tour. He credited the win to his caddie John Curtis, whom he referred to as the rock of his career, and to sports psychologist Jay Brunza, who he said eventually helped him comprehend that he couldn't manage whatever by using obsessing over it.
That bogey-loose sixty one got here from his now-relaxed mind, making him the only participant to conquer Henley. By pictures, no much less.
The win has certainly upset Frittelli's plans for the year, however. Now he's got to make that long trip to Ireland for THE OPEN next week, reschedule for the FedExCup playoffs, and start planning his Tour schedule for the next couple of seasons. Phew! I just hope he finds time to read his Limerick Summary!
Russell Henley made everybody quake
?Cause his 61 wasn?T a fake?
But Frittelli changed into ready.
He saved his thoughts constant
Despite knowing what was at stake. The photo came from this page at pgatour.com.
