Winner: Jason Dufner
Around the wider world of golf: Emma Talley won the US Women's Amateur; Ann-Kathrin Lindner won the Honma Pilsen Golf Masters on the LET; Katy Harris won the IOA Golf Classic on the Symetra Tour; and Andrew Svoboda won the Price Cutter Charity Championship on the Web.com Tour.
We'll ALL be Dufnering now.
I don't even recognize how to begin this put up. As I said in an earlier publish, I spent final week in Disneyworld with friends. We made it returned Sunday (we cut up the ride returned over days) in time for me to look most of the CBS insurance. The golfing was as appropriate as some thing we've got seen this year.
There turned into no backing right into a victory this week. Jason Dufner set a brand new route file Friday, then REALLY began striping his photographs. He cut up 20-backyard wide fairways with his driver. He hit three of his technique photographs to tap-in variety on Sunday. He made important par-saving putts. True, he bogeyed the very last holes but he STILL posted a 2-beneath sixty eight, the lowest final round ever posted by using a main winner at Oak Hill.
His pursuers got here after him. Jim Furyk, who finished second, played a strong spherical however simply could not make up floor. Other gamers made decent runs but were too far returned to start and had to press to attempt to seize up; it ended in meltdowns at the final 3 holes. Henrik Stenson (third) and Jonas Blixt (4th) gave Sweden some of their pleasant finishes ever... For the men, that is. (I nevertheless suppose the pairing of Stenson and Blixt sounds more like a TNT police series.) The entire pinnacle of the leaderboard appeared like a who's-who of the game.
And then Dufner were given the win at a route in which his idol Ben Hogan couldn't get it completed. And when he did, who become there to greet him? Keegan Bradley, who beat him in a playoff at the PGA years ago. If I apprehend it right, Bradley had already left the path while he heard that Dufner changed into going to get it completed and nearly got a visitors ticket racing returned to the route to see it.
All-in-all, it changed into almost a too ideal ending for the 2013 predominant season. So what greater can I say? Just this...
This week's Limerick Summary salutes the maximum famous "Dufnerer" of all.
Oak Hill?S flora was deep and thick;
It ended maximum gamers? Dreams absolutely short!
But Duff wasn?T sleeping?
He DROVE them to weeping
And mowed down the field with his biggest stick. The photo came from the PGA Championship homepage at majorschampionships.com.
