For those of you who were asking this event, the last of the wrap around season on the PGA Tour was called the McGladery prior to the sponsors changing their name to RSM. It is a a licensed CPA firm, and serves clients around the world through RSM International, a global network of independent accounting, tax and consulting firms
For those of you who have been asking if Kevin Kisner, certainly one of the most consistent players in the game in 2015, would ever win the answer happily is "Yes !"
He lost in playoffs most recently in Shanghai at the WGC HSBC, but also earlier at Hilton Head, Sawgrass and the Greenbrier. However yesterday he capped of another great week's play, going one better for the win and for once it wasn't even close, after a masterful -6 64, good by six shots over Kevin Chappell with a tournament record -22, incidently making him the 6th first time winner of this 2016 season.
Afterwards he stated the obvious "I’ve just been playing so well all year. I knew one day it was going to happen when I was going to make all the putts. I did it on the front nine" (he shot 30)
As for the race for 2nd place, Chappell shot 67 to grab that spot with last week's winner
Graeme McDowell closing with a 67 for 3rd.
There was a very nice story reported by Doug Ferguson of AP, one of our great writers, for one of golf's world travellers and nice guys, Sweden's Freddie Jacobson. Last year his young boy had to go through open-heart surgery and that's the reason we never saw Freddie for the last part of the year.
The tour gave him a major medical extension with a goal of earning over $326,000 to keep his card.
He shot 67 to finish 5th and that cheque for $228,00, makes his tally $356,000 good enough to secure his playing rights for 2016.
It was another solid week for David Hearn with scores of 64 72 67 69 T9 -10. Adam Svensson who Monday qualified and Austin Connelly both missed the cut.
