Winner: Dustin Johnson
Around the wider world of golf: Mirim Lee lapped the field to win by 6 at the Kia Classic on the LPGA; Daniela Darquea won the IOA Championship on the Symetra Tour, becoming the first player from Equador to win on either the Symetra Tour or the LPGA; Casey Wittenberg won the Chitimacha Louisiana Open on the Web.com Tour; Patrick Newcomb won the Honduras Open on the PGA TOUR Latinoamérica; and D.A. Points won the Puerto Rico Open, the alternate field event on the PGA Tour.
Come on now. Is this picture certainly that a lot of a surprise?
The final day of the WGC-Dell Match Play performed out quite a great deal as expected, albeit with a healthy dose of drama. When you're making it to the Final Four at this occasion, you anticipate to look the quality gamers convey their best stuff.
And they did. Bill Haas took Jon Rahm to the sixteenth hollow earlier than dropping his semifinal in shape, and Hideto Tanihara took DJ all of the way to 18 earlier than in the end losing his. Likewise, Haas took Tanihara 17 holes earlier than completing 4th.
But the fit everyone wanted to peer -- Johnson V Rahm -- added the whole thing we expected, and then a few. DJ built a 5up lead, handiest to have Rahm typhoon lower back with a danger to move extra holes at 18. If there has been a drawback to the fit, it became the rest room door someone slammed at the worst feasible second throughout Rahm's eagle chip. It may not have determined the final results of the match, however it really affected Rahm's stroke.
Nevertheless, the query stays. Is this photograph in reality that plenty of a surprise? After the torrid run DJ has been on -- prevailing (as of today) his final 3 activities, back-to-returned WGCs (a feat achieved only by using Tiger earlier than this event) and now turning into the first guy to win all four WGCs -- it is tough to say that we couldn't see this coming.
This week DJ will tee it up at the Shell Houston Open, where he will once more be the favourite as he prepares for the Masters -- wherein, probably, he will be the favorite once more. Is the PGA Tour ready for but every other run by way of a dominant participant, specifically while that participant has received 6 instances in most effective nine months, such as a primary and WGCs?
All I realize is that it's a assignment to hold locating specific techniques to the Limerick Summary whilst they may be all about the equal participant. Fortunately, DJ keeps making history with his wins. That makes it a chunk simpler...
Of WGCs, he is were given four;
Three wins in a row?Can be greater
Before DJ's thru.
What's the terrible area to do
When they don't know what might be in store? The photo came from this page at PGA.com.
