Steven Bowditch takes a bow

When a final round of four-over is right enough to win a event, you comprehend it's been a trying day on the golf course.

No, permit's be blunt about it. TPC San Antonio made the PGA Tour crowd look like a gaggle of weekend players Sunday. The route is difficult enough on its very own however, when you brought all of the wind -- and a special wind from regular at that -- I don't know that each person became going to appearance especially excellent. Will MacKenzie and Daniel Summerhays shot 70 and 71 respectively... And vaulted up the leaderboard to grab T2.

Most oldsters concept Matt Kuchar had the satisfactory shot at prevailing due to the fact he had the maximum revel in of these on the leaderboard. Instead, he shot 3-over for a T4.

And Bowditch? Well, I agree with they said he made handiest 2 putts over 5 toes all week. It was every week for quick sport wizardry, and Steven Bowditch had his Harry Potter happening. He knocked chips and pitches stone dead all week, and ultimately it paid off with his first PGA Tour victory and his first ride to Augusta.

If I understand things effectively, there were most effective three worldwide winners up to now this season... And all are Australian. Jason Day, John Senden, and now Steven Bowditch are carrying the banner for the sector right now -- and, as destiny would have it, they now have the most effective three global Limerick Summaries this season. I wish you experience yours, Steven!

When the wind put the sphere in a repair,

Making par required all of their tricks.

But one man made it through?

Bowditch took ?Em to highschool
