Winner: Adam Scott
Around the wider world of golf: Lexi Thompson became the first American to win the Honda LPGA Thailand; Jiyai Shin won the RACV Ladies Masters on the LET; Louis Oosthuizen won the ISPS HANDA Perth International on the ET; and Justin Hueber won the 69 Avianca Colombia Open on the PGA TOUR Latinoamérica.
The Champion's Course at PGA National once hosted the PGA Championship, again in 1987. For some cause it continues to agree with it is hosting a chief.
For the first couple of days it allowed players to consider they may rating on it. Over the weekend it ate the gamers' lunches. And their dinners. And possibly completed off their breakfasts this morning.
It's no longer that no person may want to score in any respect. It's simply that those gamers weren't in the Top10 at the leaderboard. In the cease, although Justin Thomas and Blayne Barber attempted to make a run, it changed into only a two-man race between third-spherical leaders Adam Scott and Sergio Garcia, right pals who're each playing well... And who haven't won a PGA Tour event in or more years.
It turned into Adam who were given off to the high-quality begin with birdies on of the primary five holes. And even though the high-quality he could do was an excellent par score, he become capable of placed sufficient pressure on El Ni?O to make him warfare. Sergio's recreation was off just a bit and, after shooting par on the front 9, he was pressured to press. In the cease, Adam's even par spherical was enough.
Perhaps the biggest takeaway from this week is that Scott turns into the primary participant to win after switching from an anchored stroke because the ban went into effect. His stroke appears as solid as ever, and he's beginning to show up continuously week after week. After a runner-up final week and a win this week, Adam is in position to make a chief run later this yr.
And of direction, he picks up his first Limerick Summary in more than one years. Good on ya, mate!
The gusts from El Ni?O have been robust
But Scott bucked the ones winds all day long.
His ball didn?T drown
In his even par round
And his putting refused to go wrong. The photo came from the champion's wall page at PGATOUR.com.
