Winner: Webb Simpson
Around the wider world of golf: Amy Yang got her first win at the LPGA KEB HanaBank Championship; Jin Jeong got his first win at the ET's ISPS HANDA Perth International; Michael Allen got his second win of the year at the Greater Hickory Kia Classic on the Champions Tour; Scott Hend won the Venetian Macau Open on the Asian Tour; Kang Sung-hoon won the Kolon Korea Open on the OneAsia Tour (Rory McIlroy finished T2); and Na-Ri Lee won the Fujitsu Ladies on the JLPGA after the final round was rained out (the Constructivist has details).
Fortunately for NFL lovers, Webb Simpson had the Shriners Open nicely-in-hand before Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos confronted off with Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts, Peyton's antique group. The Colts won however it wasn't almost as easy as Webb's win become.
Ironically, Webb's margin of victory was as big as the Colts'! (Well, 6 strokes versus 6 points. Same number, anyway.) It's no longer a massive wonder to most fans; Webb has appeared to conflict on the grounds that winning the United States Open in 2012 however he'd in reality had five Top5s (which protected a runner-up) given that January. That's no longer bad through each person's measure.
And let's accept it -- Webb virtually failed to appear to be suffering with his confidence. (I'm no longer so sure you may say that approximately the relaxation of the sector. They didn't even make Webb sweat for the win.) No, Webb didn't lack confidence; he simply hadn't received in some time. Unless you're Tiger or one of the other men who stay within the OWGR Top5, it's not unusual.
At the risk of slighting Webb, I suppose the real tale was the guys chasing him. Runners-up Ryo Ishikawa and Jason Bohn will put off loads from this event -- this week changed into a chief accomplishment for them each.
But that does not exchange Webb's accomplishment. Webb gained massive in Vegas, so this week's Limerick Summary celebrates the Tour's most modern high curler:
In Vegas, maximum men are high rolling?
But Simpson changed into simply out on foot!
Yeah, Webb had the price tag?
His entire recreation become wicked!
