Winner: Jason Day
Around the wider world of golf: Anirban Lahiri got his first ET win at the Maybank Malaysian Open; Paul Goydos won the Allianz Championship on the Champions Tour; Patrick Rodgers got his first pro win at the Colombia Championship on the Web.com Tour; Marianne Skarpnord won the Oates Victorian Open on the ALPG; Richard Green won the Oates Victorian Open Championship on the Australasian Tour; and Sei Young Kim got her first LPGA win at the Pure Silk Bahamas LPGA Classic.
It seems that no one may want to get to -- not to mention live in -- double digits at the Farmers Insurance Open on Sunday. Players could make runs, handiest to fall back. In reality, simplest 6 players controlled to shoot ratings below 70 at the Torrey Pines South Course.
That, of route, resulted in a bunched-up leaderboard. And after severa starts offevolved and stumbles, 4 players eventually controlled to put up at -nine -- protecting champion Scott Stallings, Harris English, J.B. Holmes, and Jason Day. And of the 4, only English managed to make birdie at the par-five 18th in regulation.
Sounds like he'd be the favourite inside the playoff, right? Not a lot. In truth, both English and Stallings struggled to make par... Which simply wasn't appropriate sufficient. Holmes determined to put up and count on his wedge play (exact desire) whilst Day nailed one up the slender right aspect to leave a long chip for a tap-in (also a great preference).
Two down, two to move.
On the par-3 sixteenth Holmes blasted his tee shot over the inexperienced, ensuing in a bogey. Day managed to keep the inexperienced and -putt for his first win in view that final yr's Accenture Match Play. (Remember the duel with Victor Dubuisson?)
Of the wins thus far this calendar 12 months, Day's victory this week seems the maximum huge to me. He spent last yr combating all manner of accidents to his again and hand, which derailed a probably solid run at the majors. But now he seems healthy and, with a T3, T17 and playoff win in 3 starts offevolved, I'm equipped to make a few predictions.
And so it's far that Jason Day no longer only gets his first Limerick Summary in some time but also a vote of confidence:
Scott and Harris got canned at eighteen.
On the subsequent hole J.B. Flew the inexperienced;
Jason Day knocked it in.
On his probabilities to win
At Augusta I’m really quite keen. The photo came from this page at PGATOUR.com.
