Winner: Jimmy Walker
Around the wider world of golf: Cheyenne Woods broke through with her first LET victory at the Volvik RACV Ladies Masters; Michael Allen won the Allianz Championship in a playoff on the Champions Tour; and George Coetzee got his first ET win at the Joberg Open (and a spot in the Open Championship as well!).
There's an old announcing (which turned into additionally made into a success tune by Meat Loaf) that " out of 3 ain't terrible." I'm quite sure 3 out of 8 is lots higher!
As you possibly heard again and again at some stage in the declares, Jimmy Walker has now entered some elite enterprise -- players to win 3 or greater tournaments in their first eight starts offevolved of a season. He joins players like Tiger Woods, David Duval, and Phil Mickelson as the handiest players to achieve this within the closing two decades.
I assume Jimmy proved that it is now not so tough to sleep on a large lead. Rather, it is simply hard to play the last 9 holes with it! Jimmy's 6-shot lead slowly shrank, stroke by means of stroke, till he wanted a par on 18 to win outright. Nerves slowly affected his short recreation and setting until he turned into simply preserving on. BUT...
He DID maintain on. That's what counts.
And it truly is now not all. He additionally expanded his lead inside the FedExCup points race and he probably locked up a spot on the US Ryder Cup Team later this 12 months. He jumped 11 spots to #24 in the OWGR, so he has surely NO worries approximately now not qualifying for any of the big tournaments this yr. And he possibly got himself inside the early walking for Player of the Year.
Those are the things I can think of thus far. I'm positive more will pop up as the yr progresses -- maybe even subsequent week while he tees it up at the Northern Trust Open. That's every other occasion where he's played quite well in the beyond...
But within the period in-between, Jimmy picked up his 1/3 Limerick Summary of the wraparound season. If he intends to hold prevailing like this, I'll want to do a little studies so I can provide you with new ones for him...
Maybe ?Two out of 3 ain?T horrific,?
But three out of 8 is RAD!
Jim?S high in the FedExCup;
Tom Watson, signal him up!
How much more stuff can he add? The photo came from the front page of PGATOUR.com.
