In golf it's called being in the zone, and that's where lanky Texan Jordan Speith is right now. He capped off trips to Japan, Australia and back to Florida with his second straight win, this time Tiger's Hero World Challenge with rounds of 66 67 63 66 -26, TEN shots clear of the 18 man field including a guy who just won the player of the month award on the European Tour, Henrik Stenson who shot 69 to get to -16..
He made it look way to easy in benign conditions on the Isleworth GC. He asked his caddie if there was an event they could play in this week, he just doesn't want the streak to end !..He put another $1m in his jeans for his efforts..
As for the host, Tiger got better as the week went on, both physically and with his game 77,70 69 72, he hasn't played competitively in 4 months and feels if he can stay healthy, especially his lower back, he'll be able to compete again..

It became a shoot out between 3 Englishmen, Luke Donald, Ross Fisher and Danny Willett and it was Willett with rounds of 71 68 65 66 -18 that eased away from the others for a 4 shot win on this stunning Gary Player GC surrounded by game reserves, fields of giant sunflowers nestled in the Pilanesberg mountain range in NW South Africa.
Fisher 68, was second at -14 and Donald slipped to 73 to end up at -12.. Willett's win paid out at a cool $1.25m..
