The primary playoff occasion of the season was fairly intense.
Justin Rose was victorious (shout out Workforce Rose!) on the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis over the weekend. For the entire discuss in regards to the playoff occasions being lackluster (the format is unquestionably a problem) this one delivered.
Amazingly this occasion is fairly used to issues requiring further competitors. Rose’s victory got here in a playoff in opposition to US. Open winner J.J. Spaun and it was the twentieth playoff on this occasion’s historical past. Rose picked up his second playoff win of his profession whereas Spaun fell to 0-2 in playoffs usually, curiously each gentleman misplaced playoffs to Rory McIlroy this season with Spaun shedding The Gamers and Rose falling at The Masters. It has been fairly the 12 months.
Rose has come fairly near many victories for a while now. He clearly contended at Augusta and in addition did so throughout final 12 months’s Open Championship. The win marked his first for the reason that 2023 AT&T Pebble Seaside Professional-Am.
There is no such thing as a query that Rose was the star as he got here away the event’s winner, however Tommy Fleetwood must be talked about as nicely. It seemed just like the Englishman would possibly lastly choose up his first PGA Tour win, he held the lead getting into Sunday’s ultimate spherical, however a bogey down the stretch took him out of competition and he missed the playoff completely.
Fleetwood completed T3 and notched his forty third top-10 end (out of 162 complete begins). It’s, as everyone knows, essentially the most of any participant with no win on Tour since 1983. His time is coming, absolutely.
