It’s time to start taking this Sepp Straka character a lot more seriously after his second victory of the year meant he joined Rory McIlory as the only multiple winners on the PGA Tour this season.
Luke Donald forced players to play for $100 matches on the first hole during practice rounds, and three-hole money matches between themselves to help them get into an aggressive mindset early.
Woods, who serves as host for the 20-player exhibition event, announced via social media overnight that he has developed plantar fasciitis in his right foot.
The Canadian excelled from just off the green, getting up and down a remarkable 22 of 24 times for a 91.67 percentage – easily the best in the field for the week.
Straka, who birdied three of the final five holes in shooting four-under 66 to beat Lowry by one, may have been the beneficiary of the meteorological whims, but nobody can say he didn’t seize the moment.
