The primary playoff occasion of the season was fairly intense.
Justin Rose was victorious (shout out Crew 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 certainly a problem) this one delivered.
Amazingly this occasion is fairly used to issues requiring additional competitors. Rose’s victory got here in a playoff towards 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 on the whole, apparently 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 yr.
Rose has come fairly near many victories for a while now. He clearly contended at Augusta and likewise did so throughout final yr’s Open Championship. The win marked his first for the reason that 2023 AT&T Pebble Seashore 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 may lastly decide up his first PGA Tour win, he held the lead coming into Sunday’s remaining spherical, however a bogey down the stretch took him out of competition and he missed the playoff fully.
Fleetwood completed T3 and notched his forty third top-10 end (out of 162 whole begins). It’s, as everyone knows, essentially the most of any participant and not using a win on Tour since 1983. His time is coming, absolutely.
