Winner: Russell Henley
Around the wider world of golf: So Yeon Ryu broke her winless streak in what may well have been the most bizarre ANA Inspiration ever on the LPGA (and yes, there WILL be a rant post soon!); Miguel Angel Jimenez won the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic on the Champions Tour; and Liv Cheng (from New Zealand) won the Gateway Classic on the Symetra Tour.
It's excellent how regularly it takes place. Everybody gets focused on multiple gamers who appear probable to duke it out all of the way to the finish, most effective to have a person sneak up with a extraordinary spherical and steal the whole thing.
Well, actually, Russell Henley had an amazing round. Ten birdies' worth, which I would call amazing, even if it only added up to a 65. After all, it was the best round anybody shot on Sunday.
Sung Kang (the golfer, now not the actor) appeared like the runaway winner after Saturday's spherical, and Rickie Fowler regarded most likely to chase him down, even after his struggles overdue in the third round. And Luke List in reality appeared able to pulling it off after a sixty five of his very own Saturday.
Still, a man with nothing to lose -- a guy who has struggled for most of the season, with a T9 his pleasant end -- well, that is a guy you might want to watch out for. Especially when his last three Houston Open starts offevolved have all been T7 or better.
And it is the attitude Russell went out with on Sunday, understanding that a Masters berth changed into on the line (he missed out final yr). Now that he has that invite, it'll be interesting to peer how he does there, specifically for the reason that exceptional of his three begins there may be 21st place.
But at least, as he ponders his possibilities down Magnolia Drive, he's going to have a pleasant new Limerick Summary to help psych him up. Be brilliant once more, Russell!
With skill Russell "Mastered" the course,
A remaining-minute invite the supply
That inspired his incredible play.
So he's now on his manner
To Augusta… where his mastery is sparse. The photo came from the tournament upshot page at PGATOUR.com.
