Well, I gotta say this was a strange tournament, especially the final round. The weather has been a huge factor, cold, windy, and rain in the forecast. Today’s forecast, and tomorrow’s warrants considering getting out the ark! Anyhow, they sent everyone out early in pairings of three to get in play in the final round. Mickelson was in the lead with four holes to play and then he bogeyed the 16th and the 17th, very uncharacteristic. Ernst (USA, age 22) and Lynn (Great Britain) both ended up at -8 after regulation. Ernst won with a par on the 18th playoff hole. Congrats to him!! Still, a bit anticlimactic finish to this event. The rest of the top of the leaderboard: Ernst and Lynn -8, Mickelson -7, Westwood and Karlsson -6. The birthday boy, Rory Mcilroy, who turned 24 yesterday, finished at -4. Tiger was not playing, but he did make it to MJ’s wedding in Florida!
