Winner: Hideki Matsuyama
Around the wider world of golf: Sergio Garcia posted another impressive win at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic on the ET; and Jazz Janewattananond (a young Thai player) won the Bashundhara Bangladesh Open on the Asian Tour.
And congrats to the New England Patriots, who won SuperBowl LI in opposition to the Atlanta Falcons. The teams set so many facts at some stage in the sport -- inclusive of it being the first-ever additional time SuperBowl -- that I can't even list all of them.
I wager you can say Hideki Matsuyama broke the curse. Nobody has received the WM Phoenix Open back-to-lower back because it moved to TPC Scottsdale.
Nobody but Hideki, that is. And he did it with lower back-to-returned playoff wins, which hasn't came about on tour everywhere on account that 1990.
True, it's clean to sense sorry for Byeong Hun An, who misplaced the fifty four-hollow lead, but that takes place to anyone sooner or later. He'll come lower back from that.
Even Webb Simpson, who lost the 4-hollow playoff, will be fine. This is his best showing in 3 years, specifically due to the fact he needed to trade his anchored putting stroke.
But Hideki is better than exceptional. He's won PGA Tour events plus 3 different international titles in his remaining nine begins. Two of these losses got here courtesy of Justin Thomas, who has 3 PGA Tour wins this season. And he leaps to the top of the FedExCup factors race, leapfrogging Thomas as the 2 press their claim as a part of the 2017 Big3. (The other member is but to be determined.)
Perhaps Hideki will become the World #1 earlier than the year's out. Perhaps he will be the first Japanese player to win the FedExCup. All of these things are surely in play going ahead. But one issue is for sure -- Hideki is positive to get hold of this week's Limerick Summary!
Forget about remaining yr's Big Three!
It seems that Hideki may be
One of this year's new individuals?
And perhaps, September,
A FedExCup winner? We'll see. The photo came from this page at espn.com.
