Winner: Graeme McDowell
Around the wider world of golf: Inbee Park won the Lorena Ochoa Invitational on the LPGA; Kristoffer Broberg got his first win on on the ET at the BMW Masters; Shingo Katayama won the Mitsui Sumitomo VISA Taiheiyo Masters on the Japan Golf Tour; Danthai Boonma won the inaugural World Classic Championship on the Asian Tour; Fabian Gomez won the NEC Personal Classic on the PGA TOUR Latinoamérica; and Bo-Mee Lee won the Ito En Ladies Golf Tournament on the JLPGA (bangkokbobby has details).
The weather pressured a further day of play however the gamers compelled the playoff. I guess a few men just can not bear to depart Mayakoba.
At first it looked as if the sector became going to revel in the School of Hard Knox. (Sorry, but I definitely like that pun.) Russell Knox became truely on a high after his win at the WGC final week and he carried that excessive midway around the sector to Mayakoba. But Jason Bohn has been on a streak as well, and Graeme McDowell became unwilling to allow one hollow determine his week. (He became five-over on the primary hole remaining week, if you did not listen.)
But Graeme posted first, Jason scrambled around nicely enough to tie him, and Russell lost his one-shot lead at the final hole to ship them all into the 3-guy playoff. Then Graeme rifled a five-iron to inside three feet of the cup, nearly holing it within the system, and tapped in for birdie and the win.
It regarded suitable that the other failed to falter at the playoff hole (each made par) but were truely beat. In fact, Russell followed his first win with a runner-up -- this is a quite true accomplishment -- and Jason joined Kevin Na at that small table wherein players with two runner-u.S.A.And a 3rd sit -- and each have completed it in most effective five weeks. Amazing!
As for Graeme... No doubt you all heard his put up-round remarks wherein he talked about all of the self-doubt he is skilled this past year and how much this win intended to him. He's in true shape going ahead, as his Tour card turned into about to run out -- now he's set for some extra seasons -- and he wasn't certified for some large activities like the Masters. All it is taken care of now.
Most importantly, Graeme's return to the winner's circle additionally won him another Limerick Summary:
