Winner: Chesson Hadley
Around the wider world of golf: At the time of this writing, the Symetra Tour Championship hasn't finished so we won't know until later today who won and who got their LPGA Tour cards; Azahara Munoz won the Lacoste Ladies Open de France on the LET; Kirk Triplett defended at the Nature Valley First Tee Open on the Champions Tour (as well as winning the Pro-Jr Pro-Am with his partner Michelle Xie); David Howell won the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship on the ET, his first win in 7 years; and Na Ri Lee won the Miyagi TV Cup Dunlop Ladies on the JLPGA. (Although the Constructivist will have a post of his own sometime today, I got this info from a post on Bangkok Bobby's site.)
We subsequently understand who "The 50" will be -- the ones 50 fortunate execs to advantage their PGA Tour playing cards for 2014. (You can see that list right right here at this hyperlink. It suggests each person from the #1 seed to the #128 seed.) John Peterson gained the Finals cash listing and consequently stocks the number 1 ranking with Michael Putnam, winner of "The 25," the Web.Com Tour's ordinary season card winners.
But simply because you do not get the number one seed does not imply you don't get a trophy. Chesson Hadley got the win this week, and all of the bling that goes with it. (He also were given the #3 seed, if you're involved, and gained a total of $229,433.33 for his hassle.) For all of the drama we saw all through Sunday's final round, Hadley wasn't without a doubt a part of it. He quite lots waltzed thru it all -- he turned into already the #3 seed from "The 25" and he led via several strokes maximum of the day, so not anything lots absolutely modified for him.
Except for purchasing that trophy. The trophy's a nice element to have. If you neglected any of the information about the final round, you may examine a summary from the Web.Com Tour's website online right here.
Of direction, the debates will now begin over whether the Web.Com Finals need to be tweaked. I think they do, and day after today I'll proportion my own plan for the new and improved PGA Tour Q-School substitute. (We all know how the Web.Com Tour is waiting breathlessly to put into effect my guidelines, right?)
But for now I'll simply provide up this week's Limerick Summary, at the side of a great good fortune desire to Chesson and his spouse as they watch for their first baby:
The first Finals didn?T cross badly?
At least, if you ask Chesson Hadley!
They filled up his coffers
With all of the win offered;
He took all the Tour swag quite gladly. The photo came from the summary at the Web.com Tour's site.
