The Limerick Summary: 2019 Northern Trust

Winner: Patrick Reed

Around the wider world of golf: Mi Jung Hur set a tournament record while winning the Aberdeen Standard Investments Ladies Scottish Open on the LPGA/LET; Bo Hoag sealed his PGA Tour card with a win at the WinCo Foods Portland Open on the Korn Ferry Tour; Hayden Buckley won the ATB Financial Classic on the Mackenzie Tour; and Robynn Ree won her second straight Symetra Tour event at the PHC Classic.

So what's up with Brooks? When my Twofer Tuesday picks say he'll Top10, he wins... but if I pick him to win, he doesn't even Top10! This week I had Brooks Koepka (T30) to win and Rory McIlroy (T6) to Top10. At least Rory knows what to do.

• Winners: 2 for 32
• Place well (Top10): 16 for 32 (9 Top5s, 7 more Top10s)
• Overall Top10s: 27 of 64 (14 Top5s, 13 more Top10s)

Do any of you keep up with the Marvel Cinematic Universe? If you do, you know that Iron Man was the heart and soul of that franchise, that the first Avengers movie centered around the Battle of New York and that, while Captain America fought valiantly, ultimately it was Iron Man who turned the tide and sealed the victory there.

But inside the Battle of New Jersey on Sunday, golf's Iron Man (Brooks Koepka) got here up brief within the heroics department. Instead, Captain America landed the winning blow.

Patrick Reed has struggled for most of the last 16 months since his last victory. Not only has his game suffered, but he has also dealt with fallout from, shall we say, unwise Ryder Cup comments, among other things. However, while Captain America may have been frustrated, no one can ever say he lacked confidence. His victory in Jersey may have surprised the field but it didn't surprise him.

Now he is #2 in FedExCup points, guaranteed a journey to East Lake and trailing most effective the Iron Man himself. Clearly the superheroes have moved to the the front of the %. (I'm guessing Rory can be Green Lantern for the reason that Kyle Rayner incarnation become half-Irish.) Let's simply say that the Playoffs have gotten a lot greater thrilling!

At any fee, at the same time as I understand it's now not as useful as a Vibranium defend, Captain America does get a glittery new Limerick Summary that he can wave in Iron Man's face -- er, mask. That can be even more valuable to Patrick!

When Iron Man couldn't get it achieved,

Golf?S Captain America received!
