Winner: Scott Stallings
Around the wider world of golf: Joanna Klatten won the Bing Lee Fujitsu General Women's NSW Open on the ALPG; Sergio Garcia won the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters on the ET; Yani Tseng(!) won the Taiwan LPGA Taifong Open on the LAGT; and Jessica Korda won the Pure Silk Bahamas LPGA Classic on the LPGA.
To paraphrase one of those Farmers Insurance advertisements, "What in case you did not realize that a few surprising player could come from several strokes again and spank the massive boys?"
A quick look at the leaderboard from Saturday and after the very last spherical suggests that, in case you had been a pacesetter on Saturday, you struggled to complete the Farmers Insurance Open inside the Top10. Perhaps this may be some consolation to Phil and Tiger, both of whom were given crushed up in special approaches by means of Torrey Pines this week. Now they realize every person were given smacked round.
"The greater you understand, the better you could plan for what's beforehand..." or so says J.K. Simmons, who portrays the agent in the ones classified ads. According to PGATOUR.Com's very last spherical wrap-up, Scott Stallings DID recognise extra. He had blown a 5-shot lead at the 2013 Humana Challenge whilst he didn't take everything under consideration on the very last hollow. To quote the wrap-up, "He didn't make the same mistake twice."
They were talking about the 18th hole, but there was another mistake he didn't make that everybody else did. He parred the pivotal 17th hole, giving himself a realistic chance to win at 18... which he did, in case you didn't hear. ;-)
So Scott Stallings gets his third Tour win in his 20s, an insane amount of money, a metal bonsai tree, another trip to Augusta, and yet another of my precious Limerick Summaries.(Clearly his desire for the latter was the driving force behind his victory.) BTW, desultory means " lacking a plan, purpose, or enthusiasm":
After 4 days in golfing purgaTorrey,
Scott Stallings became the massive story.
He burst from the percent
When the rest went off-song
And hit shots that were quite desultory. The photo came from the front page of PGATOUR.com.
