Winner: Tiger Woods
Around the wider world of golf: In a marathon 36-hole Sunday in high winds, Stacy Lewis grabbed her second LPGA major at the RICOH Women's British Open, bringing an end to Inbee Park's multi-major run; Tom Pernice Jr. picked off the 3M Championship on the Champions Tour; Ben Martin won the Mylan Classic on the Web.com Tour; Gary Woodland grabbed his second PGA Tour win at the Tour's alternate event, the Reno-Tahoe Open; and the Solheim Team captains announced their teams. I'll have a look at them later this week.
Ho hum. A 59 watch and a route report tying sixty one on Friday. Another blistering victory at Firestone CC and the WGC-Bridgestone on Sunday. A 5th first-rate win on the season.
And more questions about whether or not he will get main #15 subsequent week at Oak Hill.
I hold to trust in Tiger Woods. I preserve to agree with that he's going to beat Jack's essential general. And I hold to see my notion reaffirmed every time he tees it up.
Just as he's done this year in tournaments that pretty much duplicated the major fields even though they weren't majors, he's been getting more and more consistent. Admit it -- he'll get over the major hump soon enough. It's only a matter of time.
Everybody struggles with something. The girls had to address 36 holes in 30mph winds Sunday, and Stacy Lewis proved she had the products... Once more. It's not like Stacy has played badly this year; she's just had an occasional spherical that avoided the big wins. She's been working at it, and this week all of it came together.
The guys at the Reno-Tahoe Open needed to deal with the wild way that gravity and aerodynamics affect ball flight at altitude. Gary Woodland hasn't played that badly this 12 months; he's made some thing like 13 straight cuts. It's simply been one terrible round every week that avoided the wins. But he is been running at it, and this week it all came collectively.
I think you notice wherein I'm going with this. Tiger's been having trouble on the weekends at majors. He's been running at it. It's only a remember of time before it all comes collectively.
The way it did this week. The manner it is carried out in 8 of the ultimate 15 WGC-Bridgestones.
So this week's Limerick Summary salutes one of the best cornering sports machines on the road. And on the outside chance that you don't get the joke, take a look at the Uniroyal car tire commercial from the 1960s that follows the Summary:
In Scotland the wind affords awful draws;
In Reno the balls screw with herbal laws?
But Akron?S precise.
There, the Firestone mystique
Has been run down by excessive-powered Tiger Paws.
