Winner: Patrick Reed
Around the wider world of golf: The 2015 season is just getting underway so there's not a lot to report yet, other than Andy Sullivan's victory at the ET's South African Open Championship.
Look, I gave up trying to keep up with all the one of a kind stats GC became giving on Patrick Reed. When they start giving stats like "most wins for players underneath 24years 6months of age," my mind starts offevolved to pucker up.
But I did get this one: Patrick has 4 PGA Tour wins in only 35 starts. I also checked the OWGR charts and this win leaped him up to #14 in the world. And Ryan Ballengee posted these little nuggets in his column over at Devil Ball Golf :
Reed made an 18-foot birdie putt to stable his fourth PGA Tour win his final 35 starts offevolved.
The handiest man or woman with more wins in that span? Rory McIlroy.
Reed, who turns 25 next August, is also simply one of 4 gamers inside the last a long time to notch four PGA Tour wins earlier than their twenty fifth birthday. The others are men regarded sincerely through their first names: Rory, Tiger and Sergio. Great corporation.
That's quite properly stuff if you ask me. Patrick took a few grief for announcing he turned into a Top5 player after his Doral win, but he truly appears to be backing it up. (I realize he didn't play properly for a protracted stretch remaining yr, however new infants do have a tendency to be a distraction.)
As for Jimmy Walker's "collapse," I don't assume it's such a massive deal this early in the 12 months. Nobody plays properly all of the time and simply due to the fact his "terrible 9" become the returned 9 of the final round doesn't suggest he choked. Even Patrick credited his mental sport for his win Monday; Jimmy ought to be in satisfactory form for his name defense at Sony this week.
What should we expect from Patrick going ahead? Well, he said that he wishes to play better in majors and that's going to be a "predominant" recognition this year. If he units his thoughts to it the way he's set his mind to the entirety else, I suspect he's going to make a few critical noise.
In the meantime, Patrick Reed receives his 4th Limerick Summary before his 25th birthday. That's got to be a few type of document...
Though some suppose he talks a chunk a great deal,
Reed?S proving he may additionally have ?The Touch??
Like Tiger and Phil,
He plays with the need
