Morning 9: Incredible win, winner at Women’s Open | Dominant DJ | TW finishes strong, misses fans
1 Popov triumphs for shock Women’s Open win
Only in the field thanks to a T9 finish at the Marathon Classic…which she only earned a spot in because so many players were sitting out due to COVID-19 concerns…
2. From LGPA card loser, Lyme Disease sufferer to Women’s Open winner
Some context for Popov’s surprise win from Golf Digest’s Keely Levins…”A battle with Lyme disease that went undiagnosed for three years and resulted in a 25-pound weight loss, and a game that wasn’t up to the standards she knew she was capable of left the 27-year-old German questioning whether she should continue on as a professional golfer. But Popov instead pushed forward into the 2020 season, believing that this is what she was meant to do…”
Plenty more worth reading in the full piece.
3. DJ: Winner by 11, World No. 1 again
AP report…”Johnson played the final two holes in near darkness after a late storm delay and finished with a birdie for an 8-under 63 and an 11-shot victory over Harris English.”
4. TW: Final-round 66…T58 finish
PGATour.com’s Jim McCabe writes…“Today,” said Woods, “was good all the way around.”
5. …missing the fans
Nick Pietruszkiewicz for ESPN.com quoting the GOAT…“Obviously the energy is not anywhere near the same,” said Woods, who finished at 6 under for the event, near the bottom among those made the cut. “There isn’t the same amount of anxiety and pressure and people yelling at you and trying to grab your shirt, a hat off you. This is a very different world we live in.
6. Romain!
AP report…Romain Langasque captured his first European Tour title after shooting a bogey-free, 6-under 65 to win the Wales Open on Sunday.
7. Lynch: PGA Tour Champions needs Phil
Golfweek’s Eamon Lynch…”His presence in Missouri will boost the profile of a circuit that, for all of the fine players peddling their wares out there, thrives most when legends come along. Legends aren’t real plentiful, of course, especially among the generation now graduating to the Champions Tour that had their résumés impoverished by Tiger Woods. Mickelson says he’ll play only a few senior events each year, a listless embrace similar to that of Greg Norman and Nick Faldo, but better than Johnny Miller’s no-show.”
8. Curtis Luck: KFT winner
Golf Channel’s Brentley Romine…“When Curtis Luck stepped on the first tee Sunday afternoon at Ohio State University’s Scarlet Course in Columbus, Ohio, he and playing competitor Cameron Young, just a shot off of Luck’s lead entering the day, shared a common aim: Let’s put on a good show.”
9. Today in freak injuries on the PGA Tour…
“Nick Pietruszkiewicz at ESPN.com…PGA Tour rookie Scottie Scheffler’s wild week took another turn Sunday in the final round of The Northern Trust, when his caddie, Scott McGuinness, went down in the ninth fairway with a leg injury and had to be carted off the golf course.”
