Monday Tour Mash: Love III turns back time, Woods falters

Published

Love wins the Wyndham

Apparently ageless Davis Love III turned back the hands of time and played excellent golf while those around him were merely mediocre. The result was his 21st Tour victory and first in seven years. The 2016 USA Ryder Cup team captain battled nerves on the front nine, but his four birdies and an eagle were enough to offset two bogeys. On the back, eight pars didn’t seem like enough, but the one “other” was his second eagle of the round. Love was able to hold off third-round leader Jason Gore, who also eagled the 15th. Gore was unable to get anything going on Sunday and settled for a runner-up finish.

Bryson Dechambeau wins U.S. Amateur

The SMU golfer and California native had already claimed the NCAA individual title in early June. He joined four other golfers, the most recent being Ryan Moore, to add a U.S. Amateur title in the same year.

Things we know about Dechambeau: he loves physics, he can write his name backward and with ambidexterity, all of his irons are shafted to the same length and he practices a single-plane swing. DeChambeau will lead the USA Walker Cup side into its match with Great Britain and Ireland in September at Royal Lytham & St. Anne’s.

Web.Com News Sentinel to Kizzire

Who doesn’t like to say Patton Kizzire? He’s been mentioned twice this season in Web.Com awards ceremonies and his promotion to the PGA Tour is a foregone conclusion. The Auburn grad won his second tour event of 2015, this time in Tennessee at the News Sentinel Open. Kizzire matched 64s on Saturday and Sunday to ease clear of his pursuers. The Web.Com Tour wraps up its regular season this week, then enters a four-week playoff run in September.

Andrade holds off Langer at Boeing

Billy Andrade is a really funny guy. I learned this at Wake Forest in Sociology class (no lie, we were research partners.) When it came to a shot at an individual win on the Champions Tour, away went the mirth and out came the shots. Andrade was cruising along at 11-under par when he made an absolute mess of the fourth hole. A holed chip saved a triple bogey and the Rhode Islander found a way to stave off Bernhard Langer and others to win at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge.

Lydia Ko wins Canadian Women’s Open

Something about Down-Under golfers and the Canadian Open this year, it seems. Lydia Ko (New Zealand) followed up Jason Day (Australia) as national champions of the Maple Leaf, but it wasn’t easy. A birdie, a bogey and 16 pars were only good enough to get Ko into a playoff. That’s due to Stacy Lewis playing like her old self, with six birdies for a five-under 67 on the day of truth. Unfortunately for Lewis, bogey awaited on the first playoff hole and Ko had won her third Canadian Open victory in the past four years, and her second at Vancouver Country Club.

Missed the cut, big time

USGA Walker Cup selection committee

Derek Bard won the Sunnehanna Amateur in June. That’s a big one. He marched to the finals of the U.S. Amateur, where he lost to Dechambeau. One might have suspected this play would have earned him a spot on the Walker Cup team. No such luck. Bard didn’t even earn one of the two alternate slots. It seems that the reasoning of golf’s higher echelons will forever remain a mystery to the common folk. Bard deserved better.

Tiger Woods’ fourth round at Wyndham

Sure, it had been a while since the great feline had been in contention in a PGA Tour event. No one suspected that Woods would win, and yet, he should have. Woods had a 65 and a 64 on his score sheet already this week. Sunday was a different story, though. Tiger had five birdies on the day, but he also had two bogeys and a killer triple on the 11th. So, no FedExCup playoffs this year, but will Greensboro mark an important point in the comeback? Time will tell.

Ghost Golf Qualifier Diamond Polo

We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great. You can wear them on the course, in the office, or just out at a casual event and they will fit right in.

When it comes to practice, it is good to have a purpose. This “Putting Thing” sure does it. We know from personal experience how challenging it can be and how rewarding it is on the practice green.

Riding to and from the course in style and comfort is always a good thing. If you’re in a hurry, it’s a nice feature to slide into your shoes and get to the tee time.

Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!
