A Fortunate Sunday For One Foursome

Published

Oct 10, 2010

On a day thought to be blessed due to its unusual date, 10-10-2010, a cross section of touring pros felt luck fall on their shoulders.

European Tour – Tournament action started early on Sunday morning with the 10^th Alfred Dunhill Links Championship underway in Scotland.

Martin Kaymer once again impressed and fulfilled his dream of winning a golf tournament at St. Andrew’s. The 25 year-old U.S. PGA Champion used a 66 on Sunday to secure his third straight victory and push himself into the top 5 of the Official World Golf Rankings.

Lee Westwood had a chance to take top spot in those rankings with a 2^nd place of better finish this week but a flare up of his leg injury forced him into settling for a tie for 11^th. Even with him taking an extended break he should attain that No.1 spot as of October 31st despite Tiger Woods being inactive as well.

It was a breezy and cool day in St. Andrew’s but that did not prevent some great scoring. Kaymer, who eventually won by 3 strokes over England’s Danny Willett, made some of the most impressive shots. Among them was a birdie from off the green on the 17^th, The Road Hole, and a closing birdie after an approach struck off the road that crosses the 18^th fairway, Granny Clark's Wynd. Kaymer exclaimed, “It was always one of my dreams to win at St Andrews. I can still remember my first day here as an amateur and walking down the 1st hole, over the bridge, all those things. They felt very special to me. It was very special for me to win here today. Three in a row, well three-and-a-half if you include the Ryder Cup – it wasn’t just my own win – is pretty good. I was never expecting that I could win three tournaments in a row, so I don’t really have an answer for why I am playing so well at the moment.”

PGA Tour – Across the ocean, along the American shoreline at St. Simon’s Island, Georgia, Heath Slocum prevailed at the inaugural PGA Tour McGladrey Classic. It was far from a sure thing for Slocum who struggled a bit on the day before closing out his 4^th PGA Tour victory.

After cruising through the first 8 holes in four under par Slocum looked to be in fine position but the field would just not let him slip away. Bogeys on the 9^th and 12^th holes allowed a number of players to get back in contention, including David Toms and Robert Allenby who were enjoying a Sea Island Seaside Course that played to their strength in ball striking.

Ultimately Toms and Allenby would both falter while the Viking Classic winner from last week, Bill Haas, used an eagle to vault himself into solo second place at 13 under par, one back of Slocum’s final total.

Champions Tour – Up the coast and slightly inland Mark O’Meara had plenty to celebrate on Sunday. The two-time major champion winner got his first solo Champions Tour victory at a senior major, the Constellation Energy Senior Players’ Championship.

Save for his drive on the 16^th hole of the final round O’Meara played very steady at the TPC Potomac at Avenel Farms, the former host for many PGA Tour events located in Potomac, Maryland. O’Meara barely fended off a late charge by Michael Allen, who was coming off a 2^nd place finish at the PGA Tour Viking Classic.

A playoff was required and a wayward drive by Allen led to a bogey while O’Meara successfully converted a 4 foot par putt for the long overdue win.

LPGA Tour – Some of the most impressive golf of the weekend took place in Alabama where Aussie Katherine Hull and “Bam Bam” Brittany Lincicome headlined a final day shootout at the Navistar LPGA Classic. Lincicome threw a 65 up in round four while Hull needed a 67 to surpass her by a single stroke for the win.

Hull’s back nine included four birdies over her closing nine while Lincicome had three of her own over that stretch. Unfortunately Brittany failed to make better than a par on the 17^th hole, a par five (which she usually dominates) and missed out a chance to catch Hull by making another par on the final hole.

Overnight leader Cristie Kerr put up an even par final round of 72 that left her in a tie for third with Na Yeon Choi.

A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 21. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.

As we say every year, there’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18 if you can.

Let’s get to the gifts.

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!

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @HuskerFlyer is sharing a Scotty Cameron GOLO with a BGT Stability Tour2 2022 M Edition shaft. While the putter is certainly enviable, the Augusta-inspired shaft is equally noteworthy.
