There's an old proverb that announces "the exceptional protection is a sturdy offense." The concept is that in case your enemy is busy protecting himself in opposition to your attacks, it will be without a doubt tough for him to prepare an attack of his personal towards you.
Did CIMB Classic protecting champion Ryan Moore have this proverb in mind as he teed it up in Kuala Lumpur this past week? I do not know... But he really appeared to have it in mind with the aid of the very last spherical. The Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club is commonly considered a bomber's paradise but he simply plodded his manner round, posting birdies and letting his opponents warfare to hold tempo.
Both Sergio Garcia and Kevin Na nipped at his heels -- even from time to time taking a small lead -- however, beneath Moore's constant play, found themselves wanting to take dangers that subsequently stuck up with them. Despite notable drives and technique shots (like Na's technique on the drivable par-four 14th), coupled with excellent up-and-downs (like Sergio's scramble at the same hollow), Ryan Moore clearly hit it close and sank the putts.
Even Gary Woodland, the bomber who got here in 2nd to Moore in 2013, could do no higher than healthy Ryan's final round 67.
Yes, he came in second once more.
Ryan becomes the primary PGA Tour participant to effectively shield a title in 2014. But Moore importantly (sorry, I could not face up to) he additionally gets this week's Limerick Summary.
At the quit of closing 12 months, Ryan came
To Kuala Lumpur with the intention
Of enforcing his will
On that famous person-studded area?
And this year, they got Moore of the same. The photo came from the tournament daily wrap-up page at PGATOUR.com.
