Winner: Tiger Woods
Around the wider world of golf: Michael Allen won the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic on the Champions Tour; Kiradech Aphibarnrat won the Maybank Malaysian Open on the ET; Beatriz Recari won the Kia Classic on the LPGA; Jaco Van Zyl won the Investec Cup on the Sunshine Tour; Edward Loar won the Chitimacha Louisiana Open on the Web.com Tour; and Manuel Villegas (that's Camilo's brother) won the TransAmerican Power Products CRV Open on the PGA Latinoamérica Tour.
Yep, it really is a photo of Tiger and Arnie celebrating his 8th win at "the Arnie." As the King said, it is no longer quite similar to what Sam Snead did -- the GGO become played at several exclusive guides at some stage in his run of 8 wins, even as Tiger gained all of his at Bay Hill -- but it's nonetheless a quite unusual accomplishment.
Well, uncommon for all and sundry but Tiger. After all, he is were given or 3 extra events he can win 8 instances within the subsequent year or so.
Plus this makes 3 wins in his closing 4 starts, three wins this season, 3 wins going into Augusta, six wins within the closing twelve months... Yadda yadda yadda. And then there was that little factor of reclaiming #1 inside the OWGR from Rory. (Of course, Rory can reclaim it next week because he's playing in Houston however Tiger is not... But we are all used to that again-and-forth during a change on the top, are not we?) There's no longer a whole lot want to overcome this within the ground, in any case.
One element the media has missed that I would really like to point out is that that is the first time -- at least, since the ratings have been began -- that an American became at the top of each the OWGR and Rolex Rankings at the identical time. Tiger and Stacy Lewis make history over again.
We won't be seeing Tiger until the Masters in three weeks, so there'll be plenty of time for everybody to debate whether he's ready to get back on the major bandwagon and snag number 15 in his pursuit of Jack. In the meantime, the Limerick Summary salutes Tiger for grabbing another win and especially for getting back to the top of the OWGR after so many said he'd never make it back. Given that they were so far wrong about that, I'd think twice before believing that Tiger will never catch Jack...
The weatherman gave him a take a look at
But Tiger?S game nonetheless was the nice.
Rain poured and wind howled
But the tale became how
He retook Number One from the rest. The photo came from the front page of PGATOUR.com.
