Winner: Brooks Koepka
Around the wider world of golf: Danielle Kang beat seven runner-ups to claim her second LPGA victory at the Buick LPGA Shanghai; Woody Austin won the Dominion Energy Charity Classic, the first of the Champions Tour playoff events; Harry Higgs won the Diners Club Peru Open on the PGA TOUR Latinoamérica; and Becky Morgan won her first LET title at the Hero Women’s Indian Open. The ET's weather-delayed Andalucía Valderrama Masters finishes up today.
Now the boys on Tour should be starting to get a bit worried...
Brooks become out for a few months early in the yr. Then all he did was win two majors and the Player of the Year trophy. And now he is brought some other global win to his general and pass to Number One within the OWGR, shoving his old friend Dustin Johnson out of the manner within the manner.
Do you observed he feels a piece underappreciated?
Seriously -- was this tournament ever really in doubt after the third round? I know Gary Woodland made a big run at Brooks, actually tying the lead for a while. But Brooks shot a 29 on the way in -- a 29, folks! Nobody was going to stay with him at that point.
So now the analysts will begin their tries to are expecting what he would possibly do going ahead. Without a doubt, this has been a banner year for Brooks. I already had him within the top spot on my RGWR. In my opinion, the OWGR is a chunk behind. But we've got visible players rack up exquisite years, handiest to stumble a piece from fatigue or whatever and not be able to get lower back to that excessive level again -- as a minimum, not for some time.
I do not know if Brooks could have that hassle. He says that he isn't going to alternate whatever -- and that's top, but I do not think exchange may be avoided. Even even though he might not attempt to change his game, exchange is the rule of thumb on this life and he's going to must juggle his personal expectancies as he actions forward. That on my own will give him all he can cope with in his attempts to preserve it all going.
Still, I wouldn't need to wager in opposition to him. I'd a whole lot rather be at the height Brooks has reached and attempt to stay there than to attempt to combat my way up from underneath. And I don't envy the ones players looking to take him down a notch, given the thrashing he is laid on them this season! So I'll simply deliver him yet every other Limerick Summary, sit lower back and watch the fireworks going ahead... Due to the fact I'm sure there will be lots!
Two majors this year weren?T sufficient
So Brooks confirmed the entire world how hard
He may be. No beginner?
