Winner: Adam Scott
Around the wider world of golf: Yes, there was golf other than the Masters this past weekend! Lin Wen-tang won the Solaire Open (in Manila) on the Asian Tour; Yumika Adachi won the Yumeya Championship on the LAGT; and Alex Aragon won the WNB Golf Classic on the Web.com Tour.
Nick Faldo called him the Wizard of Oz. Ian Baker-Finch stated they had be on top of the sector down beneath.
Adam Scott simply said, "FINALLY!" after breaking the Aussie Curse on the Masters and simultaneously getting his first major win.
After three extremely anticlimactic rounds, the Masters brought one of the pleasant very last rounds in years. As commentators on GC, ESPN, and CBS all mentioned, all and sundry inside the previous few pairings besides Marc Leishman had had a Top3 end on the Masters before. And even as Tiger Woods failed to win, he had weekend rounds underneath par at a major for the first time for the reason that 2010 Masters. That has to bode well for the rest of the 12 months.
But the big story was that Adam Scott and Angel Cabrera gave us a Masters where the winner actually won the thing -- you know, went out there and shot scores that had to be beaten, not just endured. And did it in pouring rain, no less! Two clutch birdies on the 18th, then Adam winning with a center-cut birdie on the second playoff hole after Angel's birdie putt clung to the edge of the hole in near darkness.
It just doesn't get lots higher than that. And now not only does Adam get a piece of records and his very very own predominant, but he jumps to #3 within the OWGR this week.
Since Adam made records for Australia here, I'm sure we will be watching replays for the following couple of weeks at least so I may not bore you with info. If someway you ignored it, you may get a threat to peer it again.
Instead, I decided to give Adam a unique present of my personal. I've altered the normal rhythm of this week's Limerick Summary so I may want to deliver him a right Aussie cheer. Good on ya, Adam!
The Aussie curse is over! Boy oh boy!
Adam were given a Masters and he?Ll enjoy
All of the eye
That goes with his ascension.
