The ice-cool left-hander, who took a five-shot lead into the final round and won by six, doesn’t plan on his life evolving too much now that he’s the Champion Golfer of the Year.
Golf’s civil war is over. Well, it might be over. Depends who you ask. The professional game has at least reached detente, and though no one knows for certain where the sport is going and who will be guiding it and what it all means, there is one incontrovertible takeaway from two years of drama, conflict, instability, and struggle:
Fowler has posted 12 top-10s in his majors career, the most recent at the 2021 PGA Championship, but how close was he to actually winning any of them, and how did they slip away?
Sydney star amateur Jeffrey Guan, as well as Western Australia’s 17-year-old phenom Joseph Buttress, have been announced as the Cameron Smith Scholarship winners for 2023.
Less than two weeks after Tiger Woods had to withdraw from the final day at the Masters—underlined by the sight of a hobbled Woods limping back to his bag during a downpour Saturday afternoon—Woods announced Wednesday that he underwent a subtalar fusion procedure to address post-traumatic arthritis from the injuries suffered in a car accident two years ago.
Thanks to a nifty little chart posted on Twitter by @Robopz, you can see that a fair number of LIV golfers have already locked up spots in the four events. However, that number, at least as of now, is considerably lower than a year ago.
I can’t take this anymore. I’m happy for Matt Fitzpatrick, and I know you are too, and I’m happy for the sport of golf. But sitting here alone, on another bleak Sunday night, watching the fireflies outside the window, I can’t escape my own truth.
