Around the wider world of golf: Got a lot of winners this week!

Charley Hoffman has been frustrated by the Sunday blues lately. Seems he would play himself into position after 54 holes but just couldn't seem to get out of his own way during the last round. How bad was it? He was ranked 200 on the PGA Tour in fourth-round scoring. Add the pressure of the chase pack, led by Patrick Reed, and you could understand if it had happened again.
But it did not. This time Charley got out of his very own manner and allow his golf equipment do what that they had been doing every different spherical he played currently...
Hit fairways. Hit vegetables. Scramble. Make putts.
Patrick pushed him all of the manner, forcing him to stand up-and-down with a 9-foot birdie putt on 18 to win outright. Charley drained it, pumped his fist, and then popular congratulations from gambling partners Patrick and Billy Horschel.
Look, there were lots of tales on Sunday, which includes Martin Piller's try and win at Valero even as his wife Gerina went after the Swinging Skirts. (The Pillers managed T4 and T3, respectively, which offers Gerina bragging rights no longer best for triumphing however for doing it in 30mph winds.) But while Charley ultimately broke via the barrier to get his fourth Tour win, it's the sort of aspect that gives lovers wish that they are able to triumph over their own limits.
Besides, it gave me a threat to write Charley a surely difficult Limerick Summary. You just don't see multi-syllabic rhymes like these ordinary!
All his Sundays of past due had been forgettable
With performances great termed ?Regrettable?;

Charley allow his golf equipment speak?
Which made this win a great deal more gettable! The photo came from this article at mysanantonio.com.
