Winner: Ryan Moore
Around the wider world of golf: Stacey Keating won the Lacoste Ladies Open de France on the LET; K.J. Choi won his own tournament, the CJ Invitational Hosted by KJ Choi, on the Asian Tour (he gave all his winnings to his foundation); Bernhard Langer won the SAS Championship (not far from where I live) on the Champions Tour; Branden Grace won the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship on the ET (this is his 4th ET win this year, plus he won on the Sunshine Tour last week... which I overlooked!); if I read it correctly, Hsuan-Yu Yao won the Taiwan LPGA Fubon Open on the LAGT; and David Lingmerth won the Neediest Kids Championship on the Web.com Tour.
Some things take a long term. Ryan Moore is aware of approximately that. Granted, it did not take him long to attain the PGA Tour -- he is one in every of that handful of players to qualify via sponsor exemptions.
But it took him a long term to get his second Tour win. He gained the 2009 Wyndham (pretty much half-hour or so from where I stay) and he's received lots of money. He simply doesn't have masses of wins.
His play in the course of the FedExCup Playoffs this year in reality indicated that matters is probably turning around. His brother gave him a few putting advice -- very last spherical placing has been his problem -- and his recreation simply took off. After a T24 on the Barclays he published T10s and a T3 to complete the collection. Coming again domestic to Vegas, he become absolutely a favourite.
If you didn't, you must have taken the line on Moore. By the time Sunday's final round turned into properly underway, Moore and Brendon de Jonge had separated themselves from the rest of the sphere, essentially giving us any other week of suit play.
As it turned out, Brendon changed into no match for Ryan this week. I guess Ryan changed into Moore than he ought to manage.
Ryan had announced that this turned into his final event of the yr. He and his spouse are anticipating a brand new toddler sometime in the course of the subsequent month and he plans to spend the rest of the year with them. And after snagging his largest test of the year, why not loosen up a little?
So this week's Limerick Summary bids Happy Baby Days to the Tour's newest champion and reminds him to get whatever sleep he can. Starting next year, there won't be an off-season to rest:
He'd most effective gained one time earlier than;
Now instances he is walked through that door.
He's done for the 12 months
But the Playoffs made clear
That, next season, there's more Moore in store. The photo came from the front page of PGATOUR.com.
