Winner: Camilo Villegas
Around the wider world of golf: Inbee Park defended her title at the final Wegmans LPGA Championship, the LPGA's 4th major of the year; Martin Piller won the News Sentinel Open on the Web.com Tour; Bernhard Langer picked up another trophy at the Champions Tour's Dick's Sporting Goods Open; Marissa Steen won the Eagle Classic on the Symetra Tour; Marc Warren won the ET's new Made in Denmark event (is that a cool name or what?); and Bo-Mee Lee won the NEC Karuizawa 72 Ladies on the JLPGA (the Constructivist has details).
A friend from Brazil is right here inside the States for a go to and he desired me to take him to Carowinds. Carowinds is an entertainment park on the border of North and South Carolina, and he wanted to ride roller coasters. There are quite a few at the park, along with 6 rated as "aggressive thrill rides." We went down Saturday and rode all 6 of them.
While I'm sure there are coasters in other parts of the united states (and the world) which can be larger and faster, these 6 coasters let you revel in pretty much each sort of coaster you can trip: High coasters, putting coasters, ridiculously rapid coasters, or even coasters that exchange route and run backwards. My favorite is the NightHawk; here are some pics of it in movement.
No, your eyes aren't deceiving you. Riders spend most of this ride hanging not only under the track but under the cars as well. There's nothing quite like diving straight down, head first, when there's nothing between you and the ground. They tell you to empty your pockets before you ride, but some people just won't do it. While we waited in line, we saw all kinds of things flying out of the riders' pockets as they zipped around. Understand? That's why this is an "aggressive thrill ride."
About 2 hours northeast of Carowinds, a number of very aggressive golfers were developing a thrill experience in their own. They failed to run nearly as rapid because the NightHawk -- and that they without a doubt failed to try this wild series of barrelrolls we did just earlier than we re-entered the station -- but they had been gambling with their livelihoods. Who could make it into the FedExCup Playoffs subsequent week? Who might hold their playing cards next yr?
In an surprising flow, Camilo Villegas -- largely MIA for the closing 3.Five seasons -- zipped to the top of the leaderboard with a bogey-free sixty three. Meanwhile, third-round leader Nick Watney -- additionally lacking in action for a pretty a while -- really couldn't locate the bottom of the cup. The leaderboard crammed up with former PGA Tour winners who had been off their video games for a while but unexpectedly found themselves on this closing-ditch attempt to make the playoffs and save their playing cards.
Of route, handiest Camilo pulled it off. But what did you count on? Mere mortals aren't any healthy for Spiderman! The next question is... Will Spiderman keep his powers into the foreseeable future or became this just a one-time heroic attempt?
Either way, in addition to an all-prices paid price ticket with a purpose to likely get him as a minimum to the 3rd playoff occasion, Camilo gets his first Limerick Summary in a very long time. Can he get any other one? Only time will inform...
By winning the stop of the season
Camilo insured he?Ll be breezin?
Through most of the playoffs
Without any layoffs.
Let’s hope that he’s back, not just teasin’. The photos came from PGATOUR.com, themeparkreview.com, carowinds.com, and coasterimage.com , in that order.
