The Limerick Summary: 2019 AT&T Byron Nelson

Winner: Sung Kang

Around the wider world of golf: Marcus Kinhult got his first ET title at the Betfred British Masters; Michael Gellerman won the KC Golf Classic on the Web.com Tour; Richard Jung won the Beijing Championship on the PGA TOUR China; Maria Parra won the IOA Invitational on the Symetra Tour; and the Champions Tour will need one more day to determine the winner of the Regions Tradition.

My Tuesday Twofer picks struggled this week. I picked Pat Perez (T12) to win and Charles Howell III (WD) to Top10. Perez did put on a run Sunday but was unable to make up enough ground, finishing just outside the Top10. Howell WD'ed after ten holes Thursday, presumable from a back injury (he wouldn't have been the only one).

  • Winners: 2 for 19
  • Place well (Top10): 10 for 19 (5 Top5 finish, 5 more Top10s)
  • Overall Top10s: 20 of 38 (10 Top5s, 10 more Top10s)
Sung Kang didn't WD, however. In fact, the 61 he shot Friday and Saturday during all the delays probably won the event for him; I think it was the low round of the week. It gave him a buffer that neither Scott Piercy nor Matt Every, both of whom had amazing weekends, were able to make up.

Of the 2, only Every became in reality close sufficient to give Kang a run... And he virtually attempted. I didn't listen a whole lot of the action on Sunday -- our TV insurance became largely consumed by using tornado watches, resulting from the front that terrorized this occasion and the Champions Tour occasion this weekend. But I become in a position to tell that Every would take the lead, then fall lower back, then retake the lead, then fall returned... Until Kang went on that birdie tear from 14 via sixteen.

This week was correct information for Kang in more approaches than one, even though. Not only did he get his first PGA Tour win, he additionally were given a berth in subsequent week's PGA Championship AND his first Limerick Summary. Of route, all of us realize which one of these become the most essential, do not we?

Lord Byron could not prevent the rain

Nor the lightning, but neither stopped Kang?

And neither did Every!

Now? Will Kang?S reverie

Lead him to PGA fame? The photo came from this page at golfchannel.com.
