The Limerick Summary: 2015 Deutsche Bank Championship

Winner: Rickie Fowler

Around the wider world of golf: Lee Slattery won the M2M Russian Open on the ET; Nicole Broch Larsen won the Helsingborg Open on the LET; Caroline Westrup won the Sioux Falls GreatLIFE Challenge on the Symetra Tour; Christopher Ross won the Wildfire Invitational on the MACKENZIE TOUR-PGA TOUR Canada; and Bo-Mee Lee won the Golf 5 Ladies on the JLPGA (bangkokbobby has details).

Wasn't it just a few months ago that some anonymous poll of pro golfers said that Rickie Fowler was overrated? Apparently pro golfers aren't as knowledgeable as we have been led to believe. (Remember that next time you're tempted to copy your favorite pro and change instructors, okay?)

I determined myself definitely torn on Monday. You see, I'm as massive partial to Henrik Stenson as I am of Rickie. (Henrik has come again "from the depths" in a great deal the identical manner Lee Westwood and Steve Stricker have, so I cannot assist however pull for him. And it is virtually exact to see him sooner or later returned from that contamination he had in April.) But Rickie has taken that poll individually and... Properly, I'm playing the way he is making his detractors appear like idiots now.

This is 3 international wins for Rickie this year, all massive tournaments and all won in pretty outstanding fashion:

• THE PLAYERS... well, they'll be talking about that finish for years.
• The Scottish Open... drilling that driver on 18 and sticking that wedge when everybody wanted him to lay up was just impressive.

And now we add Deutsche Bank, where the spectacular aspect wasn't the finish quite so much as the final 36 holes. He went -4 on the front 9 Sunday, hitting every green without hitting a single fairway. He hit only four fairways total on Sunday, then snap-hooked it off the first tee Monday. But he managed to stay close to Henrik until the big Swede finally made a mistake... and then, somehow, Rickie found his driver and forced Henrik to step up or get beaten.

We all realize what occurred. Rickie Fowler won't be the most regular participant within the world however you sure don't need to stand him down the stretch when he is got a danger to win.

Rickie's win vaulted him to #three inside the FedExCup scores and #five in the OWGR. (I take a few solace for Henrik, in view that he nevertheless controlled to snag the #4 spot inside the FedExCup.) And, if I is probably so formidable, he is taking the #1 spot within the "Don't Make Me Mad or I'll Kick Your Ass" ratings which have come to be so famous on Tour nowadays. For that cause, Rickie receives a special Limerick Summary suitable for a person starving to win:

Poor Rickie?He?S hungry to score:

?Got this yr. Still, I WANT MORE!

Let?S win Deutsche Bank,

Give my critics a spank,

And then make that Big Three a BIG FOUR!” The photo came from this post at the tournament page at PGATOUR.com.
