Winner: Ted Potter Jr.
Around the wider world of golf: Mark Calcavecchia got his first Champions Tour win since 2015 at the Boca Raton Championship; Ben Taylor won the Club Colombia Championship on the Web.com Tour; Kiradech Aphibarnrat won the ISPS HANDA World Super 6 Perth, co-sponsored by the European, Australasian and Asian Tours; Jiyai Shin won the ActewAGL Canberra Classic (her 50th career win!) on the LET; and Kevin Streelman and his amateur partner, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, won the team division of the Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
Yes, the Wizard worked his magic at the mystical Pebble Beach event and gained a lot greater than Chocolate Frogs -- in both the green or purple wrappers, whole with Wizard Trading Cards -- or Bertie Bott?S Every Flavor Jelly Beans, or any of the alternative candy treats cited in J.K.Rowland's books. (I do not even need to think about the ones nasty Cockroach Clusters! UGH!) And I think Ted is bored with the "Wizard" nickname he picked up truly due to the fact he shares Harry's surname.
But it doesn't trade the truth that the call appropriate him over the weekend, and particularly on Sunday. He casually shot -3 on his first seven holes, then parred in on his way to a three-shot win. And he turned into ideal getting up and down, which isn't any small aspect around Pebble. For a participant who hasn't truly been inside the warmth of conflict for several years while recuperating from ankle surgical treatment AND swing changes, that could be a simply magical feat.
And Ted knew it. You could hear the emotion in his voice as Peter Kostis interviewed him at the 18th inexperienced. It's genuine that he had revel in to draw on -- if you failed to pay attention, Ted showed to a reporter that he had indeed won round 60 occasions in case you counted all of the - and three-day mini-tour activities -- but he definitely didn't have that sort of confidence in his conditioning but. He said that his ankle nevertheless failed to feel pretty proper.
But it felt suitable enough to post this win. And with the two-year exemption he now has, I'd be inclined to bet the Wizard will find a few spells left in that magic putter of his. Hey, he conjured up this Limerick Summary, failed to he?
Yes, Pebble can solid pretty a spell?
But the Wizard beguiled antique Carmel!
