Winner: Charlie Beljan
Around the wider world of golf: Cristie Kerr came from behind to win the Lorena Ochoa Invitational on the LPGA and end a two-year win drought; Matteo Manassero beat Louis Oosthuizen in a playoff to win the Barclays Singapore Open on the ET; and Oscar Fraustro won the Dominican Republic Open on the PGA TOUR Latinoamérica.
It become to be the last Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic... And likely the remaining PGA event at DisneyWorld, as no alternative sponsor has been discovered yet. I wager it turned into handiest proper that it's sent out with a bang.
Or as an alternative, an ambulance siren.
I wrote in Saturday's put up approximately Charlie Beljan's unexplained bout of illness in Friday's round. Personally, I don't accept as true with it's a panic assault, that's the reason maximum of the announcers seem to have settled on. The doctors observed that Charlie's body become low on some of minerals -- electolytes -- that would have given him the ones signs. It become cited that Charlie was drinking sports drinks, now not water, at some point of Saturday's round -- a round in the course of which he got step by step higher. As for feeling badly on Sunday morning, the person played Saturday on one hour of sleep. I'm not amazed he crashed!
As you can guess, I accept as true with any panic attacks were as a result of feeling horrific, now not the opposite way around. Having skilled the electrolyte problem earlier than, I consider that explains all his signs and symptoms -- inclusive of the unexplained episodes in advance inside the 12 months.
At any charge, Charlie himself says the events of the week -- at the same time as no longer ideal -- possibly helped him address the pressure of main. After all, he had bigger troubles! But prevailing wasn't considered one of them. No one ever sincerely challenged him; he received by using 2 strokes after a bogey on the final hollow.
This changed into Charlie's rookie 12 months on Tour. He got married in advance this year, then got here near winning on the Greenbrier Classic, and then have become a dad 7 weeks ago. It's possibly all felt like Fantasyland to him anyway, so getting his first win at Disney just appears appropriate.
Anyway, this week's Limerick Summary salutes Charlie Beljan and his... eventful win after a somewhat Goofy week at Disney:
As Charlie persevered Friday's terror,
He wondered if he'd made an mistakes
By going eighteen ?
But his sturdiness would possibly mean
He's become Disney's last trophy bearer. The photo came from the front page of PGATOUR.com.
