Winner: Martin Kaymer
Around the wider world of golf: Daniel Brooks won the Madeira Islands Open on the ET; Valentine Derrey won the Turkish Airlines Ladies Open on the LET; Wei-Ling Hsu won the Self Regional Healthcare Foundation Women’s Health Classic on the Symetra Tour; and Misuzu Narita won the Salonpas Cup on the JLPGA (the Constructivist has the details).
Jim Furyk may also had been Mother Nature's preferred, however Mother's Day belonged to Martin Kaymer.
While Jordan Spieth and Martin Kaymer fought it out around the flip at TPC Sawgrass, Mother Nature allowed Jim Furyk to get all the way to the quit of his spherical earlier than interrupting the day's play. Perhaps it was her way of reminding Martin that there have been bigger movers and shakers around than him at the course.
And after the rain delay ended, it looked as if she just might get her way. (It was Mother's Day, after all.) Jim posted at -12 and Martin calmly double-bogeyed the 15th. He entered Sawgrass's final gauntlet at -13 and, after a couple of squirrelly shots at 17, it looked as if he might drop another. Instead, Martin calmly curled in a long par putt and made a relatively easy par on 18 to win. (Well, it was easy if you didn't mind putting in the dark.)
Personally, I'm satisfied to peer Martin Kaymer returned within the winner's circle. He's one of these gamers I experience looking, and he's been long gone from the top of the sport for too lengthy. He's one among most effective 4 players with a WGC, a TPC, and a prime (the other 3 being Tiger, Phil, and Adam). This win have to jumpstart his return to the pinnacle of the OWGR, in which he will now not be #sixty one when the brand new ratings come out nowadays.
So this week's Limerick Summary salutes the Germanator's go back to the massive level. (Remember once they gave him that nickname, after his PGA win?) Wonder what his recreation will seem like in a month... At Pinehurst?
The thunder at the beginning came from Kaymer?
Then Ma Nature gave him a primer!
She rained on his birthday celebration
But, in the long run, Marty
