Winner: J.B. Holmes
Around the wider world of golf: Brittany Lincicome shocked the golf world by winning her second ANA Inspiration over Stacy Lewis in a playoff on the LPGA; and Josh Geary won the Buick Open on the PGA TOUR China.
It was a bad week for putts catching lips.
On the LPGA it became splendid how many putts simply caught the edge of the cup -- even if they were crawling so slowly that they HAD to head in -- after which inexplicably curled around and wandered off, once in a while several ft away. The range of putts Stacy Lewis and Brittany Lincicome lipped out for the duration of their three-hole playoff defied explanation.
But it became just as wild on the PGA Tour... Unless, that is, your call happened to be J.B. Holmes. Holmes ought to had been the use of one of these GPS-equipped balls from David Feherty's automobile advertisements -- he turned into rolling them in from anywhere! He started out with 5 directly birdies, then became 7-beneath after 8 holes and nine-under whilst he walked off the twelfth inexperienced. Jordan Spieth had hit only a single shot whilst J.B. Stuck him! And even though J.B. Cooled off after 12 -- he become 1-over on his final 6 holes -- the damage was carried out.
Give Spieth and fellow competitor Johnson Wagner some credit score for putting in there and forcing a playoff. But taking pictures sixty four inside the final spherical is devastating to the opposition, or even extra so on Sunday since you do not must fear about backing it up! Spieth went out with bogey on the primary playoff hole and likewise for Wagner on the second.
J.B. Got here in second at the WGC-Cadillac whilst he shot a 62 within the opening round and could not healthy it. Hopefully he has now found out the significance of going low while no person has a chance to make up floor. In the meantime, he also sinks the important thing putt for his first Limerick Summary in pretty a while:
Elementary? Yes, my dear Holmes;
Next to you, your fighters are gnomes
Hitting drives a long way behind you?
But let this remind you
That final-round scores bring it home! The photo came from the tournament stat page at PGATOUR.com.
