Honesty always prevails in the long run. Just ask popular New South Welshman Dimi Papadatos, who has capped off an eventful month on tour with a start in next year’s British Open at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.
Ancer, 27, is close to an unassailable position at The Lakes following his incredible third-round 65, a round that sits among the best in the long history of the Open.
The win is the fifth of DeChambeau’s career, and his fourth in the past five months, a remarkable stretch that began with a win in a playoff at the Memorial Tournament in June.
A lot of players would have been happy with the trophies, or the spoils that come with them. But what stood out to DeChambeau was executing the shots to earn the victories.
If he goes on to win Ancer will make by far the biggest leap of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, moving all the way from his 92nd spot to fifth in the standings heading into the BMW Championship.
