Tour Mash: Grillo outlasts Na to win his first
Frys.Com Open
There’s clearly no stopping Argentina’s Emiliano Grillo. The Platense captured the Web.Com Tour Championship two weeks ago, securing a PGA Tour card in the process. This weekend, Grillo posted 65-69 to tie tour winner Kevin Na after 72 holes. That 69 included a 23-foot birdie roll on the final hole of regulation. Na made the day interesting with birdies on four of his final six holes, to match the Argentine at 15-under par. On the second playoff hole, Grillo’s birdie was enough to defeat Na and secure his first PGA Tour victory.

Portugal Masters
If you looked at the leaderboard of the Portugal Masters at any point today, you would have noticed that all of the golfers were within two holes of each other. It’s rare that a major tour goes off on a shotgun start. On this rare day, Mother Nature had this to say: have at it, lads.
Andy Sullivan had a monster third-round lead and kept smiling throughout all of the final day. Understand that he smiles even when he’s playing poorly!
Sullivan expanded his monster lead to a nine-stroke victory over countryman Chris Wood. With the win at Oceanico Victoria golf club, Sullivan became the first three-time winner on the European Tour in 2015.
LPGA Hana Bank Championship
The LPGA season takes on a different tone in the fall, as golfers travel to Asia to participate in a mini-tour of sorts. Not the lesser-skilled kind, mind you, but a residence in the land of many of today’s great champions. The tour visits Korea, China, Japan, Taiwan and Malaysia over a six-week stretch.
At Incheon, South Korea, Lexi Thompson held off the resurgent Yani Tseng by one stroke to win her sixth tour title at the Hana Bank Championship. Thompson was the model of consistency in her effort, posting four rounds between 67 and 69. Tseng eagled the fifth hole to serve notice that her challenge was real, but a 10th-hole double bogey provided the gap that Thompson needed. Tseng closed birdie-birdie to establish the final margin.
Extreme Golf of Another Realm
They had us at Lukki Minni’s Butter (the local term for raging-surf sea foam.) Actually, before that, with the nearly-sideways flagsticks and the background roar. If this is the sixth hole, what are the other 17 like? Did he play the rest on this day? Hats off to you, mate. Great stuff.
A Benevolent Gesture from a Young Champion
In Gee Chun, a.k.a. Dumbo, came out of near-nowhere to win last summer’s U.S. Women’s Open at Lancaster country club in Pennsylvania. She returned to the site of her great triumph by way of a $10,000 donation check to a local cancer treatment center. Her magnanimous gift should gain widespread attention and encourage all tournament winners to continue to give back to community and charity.
