Tour Rundown: Sanderson (and security) for Muñoz, Willett wins again

Published

on

September’s 3rd week brought a bit of a comedown from the spate of team championships of late. Lives were still changed, as a young Colombian golfer secured two years of exemption on the PGA Tour, a former major winner found redemption on the European Tour, and the guy who lost to Tiger at Torrey, won an event of his own in South Dakota! To ice the cake, a South African traveled to Korea for a second-ever win outside the continent of Africa.

Sebastián Muñoz claims Sanderson and security

Colombia’s Sebastián Muñoz pulled off what many fail to do: hold a 3rd-round lead. The Colombian blitzed the Country Club of Jackson (MS)  on Saturday with 9 birdies for 63, then made birdie at the last on Sunday to secure a playoff with Sungjae Im, the 2018-19 tour rookie of the year. Byeong Hun An also birdied the 72nd hole, but could only draw within one of the playoff. In extra holes, it was Im who stumbler, and Muñoz was able to claim an inaugural tour title (and the 2-year exemption that accompanies it) with a routine par. After Chilean Joaquin Niemann claimed last week’s event at The Greenbrier, the continent of South America is now 2-for-2 in the new PGA Tour season.

Willett wins again at European PGA Championship

Ask Danny Willett if he considers himself fortunate to be back in the winner’s circle, and he will doubtless say Yes. Willett took the world by storm with his sublime finish at the 2016 Masters. Winning the green jacket sent him into a downward spiral of self-doubt, from which he recently emerged. In November of 2018, Willett won again in Dubai. This week, he fired a final-round 67 to break out of a 54-hole tie with Jon Rahm. Willett’s 6 Sunday birdies were enough to claim a 3-shot advantage over the Spaniard. In truth, Willett’s closing round was reminiscent of his glorious effort at Augusta. The Englishman seized control of the tournament during the opening nine, weathered a bogey, and closed with a pair of late birdies to eclipse all challengers.

Mediate wins 2nd playing of South Dakota’s Sanford International

He won’t get his head on Mount Rushmore, but a win at the Sanford is tasty medicine for Rocco Mediate. The Pennsylvania native, known by so many for his tantalizingly-close, playoff loss to Tiger Woods at the 2008 U.S. Open, won his 4th Champions Tour event by 2 shots over a trio of pursuers. Mediate last won on the senior circuit in 2016, when he wrestled the Senior PGA trophy from the field. This week, with Colin Montgomerie, Bob Estes and Ken Duke in the rear-view mirror, Mediate made birdie at his final two holes to establish his margin of victory. Estes played his closing 7 holes in 5-under par, but his fireworks were simply not enough. Montgomerie was able to muster a one-under final half to the round, also not sufficient to chase down the winner. For Ken Duke, it was a missed opportunity. He came to the final hole in a tie with Mediate. The journeyman made double-bogey at the last, dropping into the tie for 2nd.

Jbe Kruger wins Donghae Open by 2 over USA’s Kim

Jbe Kruger of South Africa played a masterful final round in Korea. He posted 65, tied for low round of the week, to edge past Chan Kim by two shots. Kim was quite brilliant on his own, matching Kruger with a 65 of his own. The winner simply would neither bend nor break, and Kim was compelled to settle for a runner-up position and money. Scott Vincent of Zimbabwe began day four with a mild lead, but struggled to his worst score of the week (71) and fell to third spot in the standings. For Kruger, the win in Korea was his 2nd in Asia, having won the Avantha Masters in India in a previous campaign.

Testing Lorem Ipsum

Published

on


What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

GolfWRX is on site for the second major of 2026: The PGA Championship from Aronimink in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

The tournament’s location, just outside Philadelphia, and its status as a major championship mean GolfWRXers are in for a treat: WITBs from a strong field, custom gear celebrating the PGA Championship, and the rich culture of the City of Brotherly Love — we have noted a relative absence of cheesesteak-themed items thus far this week, but most of the rest of the usual suspects are well represented.
