Winner: Jordan Spieth
Around the wider world of golf: A fairly quiet week since it was the first of the year. The BMW South African Open was won by Brandon Stone, a protege of Ernie Els. It was his first win on the ET.
Everybody came to Hawaii for the Hyundai Tournament of Champions due to the fact (1) it's a surely pleasant perk for winning a PGA Tour event and (2) it's a relaxing way to knock the rust off your recreation after you've got taken some weeks off. Well, Rory didn't go but he likely felt like he had a few weeks to get his sport going distant places.
Apparently Jordan Spieth didn't get the memo. While his game wasn't perfect, it became really in lots better shape than nearly another players' recreation. In truth, his scores had been in no way worse than the 1/3-first-class score each round. His worst spherical of the week become 67 (-6) on Sunday. I do not assume every body else may want to say that.
It's not like the other guys didn't try. Defending champ Patrick Reed got the closest, finishing in second place... 8 full shots behind Jordan. And of the players at Kapalua, Reed was in the best form of anyone because of his great stretch of finishes around the world during November and December.
He turned into nonetheless 8 shots behind, human beings. Even Rory McIlroy, who wasn't there, had to take observe of that.
It certainly seems like the World #1 rating is safe for some time... And perhaps, just maybe, some of Tiger's information are NOT. With his seventh PGA Tour win earlier than age 23 -- and several months left to add to that document -- it looks as if Jordan can be selecting up numerous greater Limerick Summaries earlier than 2016 is over...
Looks like Jordan may be Number One
For a while; of the other men, none
Even made it a race.
If Spieth maintains up THIS tempo,
They’ll be running long after he’s done! The photo came from this page at usatoday.com.
