Winner: Brian Gay
Around the wider world of golf: Jamie Donaldson won the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship on the ET; John Cook won the Mitsubishi Electric Championship on the Champions Tour; David McKenzie won the Turner Plumbing Victorian PGA Championship on the Australasian Tour; and Pornanong Phatlum won the Hitachi Ladies on the LAGT. In addition, there were three 1- or 2-day events on the ALPG: Stacey Keating won the Vintage Golf Club Pro Am, Emma de Groot won the Ingham Antill Park Ladies Pro Am, and Caroline Hedwall won the Mount Broughton Classic.
I admit it. I became a long way extra inquisitive about the AFC and NFC Championship games Sunday than inside the Humana Challenge. (For those of you who aren't into football, the winners of those video games visit the Super Bowl in weeks.) But that does not mean I did not see any of the Humana. I had it running on my computer at the same time as soccer stuffed my TV display. Truly dedicated to the game, that is me.
And what I noticed turned into awesome. Scott Stallings, who maximum anticipated to win the event, stumbled coming in and three different gamers wound up tied for the lead -- Charles Howell III, rookie David Lingmerth, and Brian Gay. The three shot sixty four, sixty two, and sixty three respectively to make the playoff. Brian Gay is the shortest off the tee -- his stats for 2013's events display him approximately 15 yards longer than his full year stats from 2012 -- and sincerely not the man you would expect to dominate within the barren region.
But Gay is aware of a way to get round a golfing route. At the 2009 Verizon Heritage he gained by means of 10 shots! And Sunday he verified how you win a playoff -- hit fairways, hit vegetables, and putt it in the hollow. Lingmerth left on the first playoff hole while he knocked his technique within the water, and Howell fell whilst his technique discovered the bunker on the second.
All Gay did was birdie both playoff holes.
Brian is a participant who truely shouldn't be capable of win on the contemporary excursion, yet he has 4 victories seeing that 2008. So this week's Limerick Summary salutes the fast-hitting underdog who by hook or by crook appears to be constructing a pleasant little profession for himself:
See that tee time for three? It?S a playoff!
Most method shots wound up being way off?
Except Brian Gay?S.
He don?T power a protracted approaches
But his shots to the green are the payoff. The photo came from the front page of PGATOUR.com.
