Winner: Jason Day
Around the wider world of golf: Brittany Lincicome successfully defended her title at the Pure Silk Bahamas LPGA Classic; Li Haotong birdied four of his last six holes to win the Omega Dubai Desert Classic on the ET; Paul Peterson won the Leopalace21 Myanmar Open on the Japan Golf Tour; and Adam Svensson won the Bahamas Great Abaco Classic on the Web.com Tour.
Maybe Tiger changed into the massive news on the Farmers Insurance Open this past week, but Jason Day additionally made a step forward -- his first win since his 2016 PLAYERS victory -- and he joined Tiger as the most effective participant to win Farmers titles in playoffs. Not bad for a weekend.
Okay, a weekend and a day. (Yes, I was tempted to capitalize Day, but the irony of the statement stands on its own!) Anyway, I guess we should have expected it. And it's not just that we've had three playoffs in three weeks on the PGA Tour. The leaderboard was packed tight from the first round -- heck, even Tiger had a shot at things on Sunday afternoon! We ended up with Day, Alex Noren and Ryan Palmer in a playoff. (Although Ryan only lasted one hole. But Ryan was the exception.)
The five greater playoff holes within the darkish on Sunday were not enough for Jason and Alex to settle things, however it only took one greater hole on Monday for Jason to seal the deal.
Those of you who follow my weblog often probable weren't amazed to peer Noren take Day so deep. Over the beyond couple of years or so, Alex has been in my Ruthless Golf World Rankings or three instances. And you need to get used to seeing him right here in America -- the $607k that he picked up for his T2 finish almost guarantees he will have a Tour card next season, because it put him at #34 at the FedExCup Points listing.
But Jason's the huge tale. He's made it clear that he wasn't just making small speak when he stated he was equipped to make every other run to #1 within the world. This win moved him up 4 spots to #10, and also you can't help but suppose he's just getting began. So he starts offevolved his new run with a win -- and, of direction, the coveted Limerick Summary.
It turned into nip and tuck from the start;
Day nor Noren had gained by way of day?S finishing.
Five more holes within the dark
Weren?T enough! One greater start
