Winner: Jimmy Walker
Around the world of golf: Cristie Kerr won the Kia Classic on the LPGA; David Frost won the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic on the Champions Tour; Tommy Cocha won the Mazatlan Open on the PGA TOUR Latinoamérica; Kelly Kraft won the Chitimacha Louisiana Open on the Web.com Tour; Richie Ramsay won the Trophee Hassan II on the ET; and Gwladys Nocera won the Lalla Meryem Cup on the LET.
The curse has been broken. A fifty four-hollow chief has eventually held on and finished the task.
Ironically, no one has observed that this brilliant feat became done through the final player to win from a 54-hollow lead before the curse started out.
Yes, Jimmy Walker had lost with the fifty four-hole lead on the Hyundai Tournament of Champions (Patrick Reed took that one) and then bounced returned the very subsequent week to win the Sony Open from a 54-hole lead. He ripped off a sixty three at Sony simply to make the factor that he may want to end off a tournament when he began in the closing pairing.
And if you had any doubts that he should do it again... Nicely, he did it again. Despite Jordan Spieth's first-class efforts to come to be the season's first two-time winner, Walker matched him almost shot for shot. He did it with the aid of sinking massive clutch putts down the stretch, sucking all of the air from Jordan's balloon and becoming this season's first two-time winner himself.
So now Jimmy Walker heads to Augusta with a full head of steam and a number analysts proclaiming him as a likely favorite to get his first primary. For now, I'll simply proclaim him the real preferred to get this week's Limerick Summary:
No gimmes for Jimmy, it regarded?
But this fifty four-hollow leader beamed
As he ended the curse.
We anticipated no worse?
His last win was the last lead redeemed! The photo came from the tournament upshot page at PGATOUR.com.
