Winner: Dustin Johnson
Around the wider world of golf: A number of these tournaments are co-sponsored events, but I'm just listing the largest sponsor because some have as many as three! HaNa Jang won the ISPS HANDA Women's Australian Open on the LPGA; Brett Rumsford won the ISPS HANDA World Super 6 Perth on the ET; Fred Couples won the Chubb Classic on the Champions Tour; Andrew Putnam won the Panama Claro Championship on the Web.com Tour; and José de Jesús “El Camarón” Rodríguez won the 70 Avianca Colombia Open on the PGA TOUR Latinoamérica.
The Wild West -- at least, California used to be the Wild West -- was primed for a showdown between the man with the badge (Jason Day) and the upstart gunslinger (Dustin Johnson). But the man with the badge ended up with wet powder and just couldn't get a shot off.
Looks like there may be a new sheriff on the town, pardners.
Don't give me that sour look! You may not care for my "high noon" metaphors, but you have to admit it: The battle for the top spot in the world rankings has at least resembled the legends of the Wild West lately. And the golf world was ready, even anxious for that showdown. After all, all Jason needed was a Top3 finish but DJ had two runner-ups in the last three years.
Then the rains got here. And got here. And CAME a few extra. Bunkers flooded. Trees fell. The very last day changed into a clearly lengthy, virtually tiring one. Jason Day finished T64.
And Dustin Johnson finished first within the whole world.
We could be debating how long DJ will hold the pinnacle spot for weeks or months or even simply days. As a long way as I can tell, there are best two certainties right here. DJ provides but another Limerick Summary to his growing collection... And there's a pleasant smooth mattress calling his name. I wish he wakes up long enough to examine the verse:
Enthronement as World Number One
Was certain, once J. Day changed into completed.
DJ held it together
Through wind and moist weather?
Now a warm cushy bed sounds like fun! The photo came from this page at abcnews.go.com.
