Winner: J.B. Holmes
Around the wider world of golf: Stacy Lewis finally broke through for her first win this season at the North Texas LPGA Shootout (the Constructivist has details); Min Seo Kwak won the Chico's Patty Berg Memorial on the Symetra Tour; Yuki Ichinose won the CyberAgent Ladies on the JLPGA (the Constructivist has details of this one too); Heath Reed won the Coca Cola Morobe Open on the Australasian Tour; Bernhard Langer won the Insperity Invitational on the Champions Tour; Felipe Aguilar won the Championship at Laguna National on the ET; Amy Boulden won her first LET title at the Association Suisse de Golf Ladies Open; Sam Chien won the Buick Open on the PGA TOUR China; and Blayne Barber won the Web.com's South Georgia Classic.
Many enthusiasts of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective engage in something they absolutely call "the Game." It's an try to discern out details about Sherlock Holmes which might be either not instructed or are not totally clear from the tales and novels. The Game affords greater than sufficient exhilaration for those fanatics, as deduction is a tough game.
Likewise, fanatics of yet another Holmes found themselves concerned in their own version of the Game. As every of the plain suspects fell by way of the wayside -- the unpredictable Lefty, the debonaire Rose, and the enigmatic Irish half of the duo called Wozzleroy -- others sought to assignment J.B. After he surged to the the front of the p.C. Saturday. None of them ought to mount a sustained assault...
None however one, and he became -- as usually -- a formidable adversary.
Rather than the notorious Professor James Moriarity, any other James -- Furyk, to be precise -- emerged from the shadows to perplex Holmes. Just like the plot of a Conan Doyle tale, Furyk's plan changed into in motion long earlier than Holmes reached the climax of the story. An eagle on the 15th become sudden, and Furyk's trap changed into sprung. Even as Holmes approached the clubhouse and the very last hollow performed out we puzzled, "Can Holmes conquer his adversary?"
But as Holmes's fanatics know, the Great Detective is a grasp of weapons -- sure, the Robert Downey Jr. Movies had that accurate -- and another time Holmes stood within the winner's circle. Indeed, the two now stand geared up to do warfare again this week, as the Holmes win confident a rematch at TPC Sawgrass.
And perhaps -- perhaps -- Holmes has attracted the attention of 1 Mr. Watson, who is probably considering him for the Ryder Cup. (Couldn't allow that one cross unused, now could I?)
Since the Wells Fargo Championship put me in an unusually literary mood this week, it seemed only appropriate (elementary?) to let Sir Arthur Conan Doyle "take a swing" at writing this week's Limerick Summary. I dare say, however, that his grasp of golf strategy is somewhat disappointing. (But what else can you expect? He killed Holmes in "The Final Problem" because he got tired of him, then had to bring Holmes back so Holmes's fans wouldn't kill him as well!)
If Conan Doyle penned those evaluations,
Of the Game he might proudly deduce,
?Why, it?S pretty basic?
Holmes basically
