Winner: Jason Day
Around the wider world of golf: After an insane round of singles play, the US team came back to win the Solheim Cup 14.5-13.5 on the LPGA; Rikard Karlberg won the 72° OPEN D’ITALIA on the ET; Chez Reavie won the Small Business Connection Championship on the Web.com Tour; Jason Millard won the Freedom 55 Financial Championship on the MACKENZIE TOUR-PGA TOUR Canada; Mitch Krywulycz won the Volvo Colombian Classic on the PGA TOUR Latinoamérica; Vicky Hurst won the Garden City Charity Classic on the Symetra Tour; and Ha-Neul Kim won the Munsingwear Ladies Tokai Classic on the JLPGA (bangkokbobby has details).
Jason Day were given himself a "twofer" on Sunday. He now not most effective held on to the #1 spot in the FedExCup ratings, he additionally snagged the number 1 in the OWGR -- a dream he is had for pretty some time, and he will become the youngest Australian ever to maintain that role.
It was just any other report he has set in his run to the top over the last three months or so. For example, he's now gained four of his final six begins; within the remaining 20 years, best Tiger (10 instances) and Vijay (in 2004) have pulled off that feat. And the BMW makes it 5 wins for him in 2015 -- no longer a report, of route, but extra than each person else on Tour has this 12 months. I'll have extra to say approximately such things inside the subsequent couple of days, for the reason that debate over whether or not there's a real Player of the Year race now might also ought to be taken critically.
In the meantime, it appears that Tiger turned into proper to take Jason "beneath his wing" and try and assist him recover from the essential hump. I don't trust "floodgates open" just because you get a win at a positive time for your improvement, but his RBC Canadian Open win simply did something unique for Jason. The term "torrid" involves mind after I reflect onconsideration on this overall performance streak.
(With all apologies to Jordan Spieth, I suppose Jordan's personal struggles after a extended stretch of high finishes proves that even the first-class players rack up wins in streaks. Even Tiger periodically had occasions wherein he failed to carry out in addition to normal. That's simply part of being human.)At any rate, Jason Day has now won two of the three FedExCup events played thus far. Can he make it three out of four and take the FedExCup as well? We'll find out in another week... but in the meantime, here's yet another Limerick Summary to tickle Jason's fancy while he prepares for the last event:
The Man from Down Under?S on pinnacle!
He ran up the rankings non-prevent
And he?S reached Number One?
Plus, his club-wielding son
Might win ten million bucks with old Pop! The photo came from the tournament news page at PGATOUR.com.
