Winner: Justin Rose
Around the wider world of golf: Paul Broadhurst got his second Champions Tour major at the KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship; Minjee Lee gave herself a birthday present at the LPGA Volvik Championship; Louise Ridderstrom won the Valley Forge Invitational on the Symetra Tour; Cameron Davis won the Nashville Golf Open on the Web.com Tour; Francesco Molinari won the BMW PGA Championship, the ET's equivalent of THE PLAYERS; Shota Akiyoshi won the Gate Way To The Open Mizuno Open on the Japan Golf Tour; and the Arizona Wildcats won the NCAA Women's Division 1 National Golf Championship.
It become in no way in reality in question on Sunday. Justin Rose began his very last round on the Fort Worth Invitaional with a four-stroke lead over Brooks Koepka, and he ended the round with a 3-stroke lead over Brooks Koepka.
That doesn't mean it wasn't thrilling. Just that Justin never genuinely gave his pursuers a risk. He shot five-underneath on his front nine and an insignificant one-underneath on his returned 9. When you shoot 64 within the final spherical, it's going to take some thing certainly special to beat you... And neither Koepka's 63 nor Kevin Na's sixty one was special enough.
Forgive me if I don't spend a variety of time on this occasion, because there was no actual drama to the finish. Rather, I think Rose's Strokes Gained stats are the actual story here:
- Off the Tee: 4th
- Approach to the Green: 1st
- Around the Green: 19th
- Putting: 21st
- Tee-to-Green: 1st
- Total: 1st
But in the intervening time, he can relax out along with his most recent Limerick Summary and get ready for the huge ones coming up.
Knowing Koepka was on the assault,
Justin couldn?T have enough money to preserve again.
He kept pushing the tempo?
And that stored sufficient area
‘Twixt his lead and the rest of the pack. The photo came from this page at golfweek.com.
