Winner: Rory McIlroy
Around the wider world of golf: Well, she did it again. Although Laura Davies gave it a great run, Inbee Park rode a five-stroke lead to victory at the Bank of Hope Founders Cup on the LPGA; Lauren Kim won the Florida’s Natural Charity Classic on the Symetra Tour; Ben Polland won the Stella Artois Open on the PGA TOUR Latinoamérica; and Jeffrey Kang won the Chengdu Championship on the PGA TOUR China.
And another drought bites the dirt. This time it belonged to Rory McIlroy, who ended a winless run of almost 18 months.
Granted, that wasn't quite as dramatic as it could have been, had Tiger ended his drought after exactly the same number of days that it took Phil to end his. But with the Masters coming up, and Rory looking to win the career Grand Slam at Augusta, it couldn't have come at a better time for Mr. McIlroy.
Although his fighters in all likelihood aren't all that happy for him. Given how badly Rory torched the sector Sunday, posting a bogey-loose sixty four that became three strokes better than every body else, they likely sense the immediately future appears pretty bleak.
Only Bryson DeChambeau managed to put the heat on Rory -- or at least it would were warmness if Rory changed into gambling like all of us else. But Rory's stats for the week study like a whole delusion draft dream crew, with him leading the field in Driving Distance, Proximity to the Hole, Scrambling, and Strokes Gained Putting. (That final one changed into probable a shocker for most of them!) It's kinda tough to overcome a fella while he's posting those sort of numbers.
And Rory hopes to hold posting them for another couple of weeks.
In the period in-between, he can take a few minutes to relax with a pleasant bloodless Arnold Palmer (tea and lemonade) -- with a little umbrella in it, of route -- while lounging in his new purple alpaca sweater and staring at lovingly at his brilliant new trophy.
And if he feels adore it, he can read his new Limerick Summary some times if he needs, just for kicks. It's been some time due to the fact that he had this type of as nicely.
Another drought involves an end?
