Tiia Koivisto of Finland triumphed in a play-off to win her first LET title in the Jabra Ladies Open presented by Bitstamp. Playing in the penultimate group, the 28-year-old from Mantsala fired a final round of five-under-par 66 to set the clubhouse target at Evian Resort Golf Club in France.
Justin Thomas staged a record-equalling comeback before beating fellow American Will Zalatoris in a playoff to win the US PGA Championship at Southern Hills. Thomas started the final round seven shots behind the overnight leader Mito Pereira and took the clubhouse lead on five-under-par after an excellent round of 67.
It’s Manic Monday, so here is a very quick round up of all the main results and stories from the weekend!
There's no stopping Justin Thomas. Four days ago he walked off with the SBS Tournament of Champions title. Yesterday he became the youngest player on the PGA Tour to join the 59 club.
Matt Every has won the Arnold Palmer Invitational for the past two years. The Spiv has backed him as great value at 100-1. But there’s a problem. He’s got the driver yips. Well, it’s what it sounds like to us. “I get over a tee shot and think, ‘What am I doing?’”
Victor Perez became the first French winner of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship after one of the most exciting finishes in the history of the event, winning by one shot from England’s Matthew Southgate at St Andrews. Whilst, at the same time, Rory McIlroy, finishing tied for 26th place complains to the BBC that the European Tour is too easy.
Tiger Woods continued his impressive comeback with a first round 68 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
The Sanderson Farms Championship from the Country Club of Jackson delivered another first-time winner when Sebastian Munoz saw off 2019 Rookie of the Year, Sungjae Im, on the first hole of a playoff. It was the Columbian’s first tour victory and follows the win by Joaquin Niemann of Chile at last week’s win at the A Military Tribute at the Greenbrier.
Swingin’ Siren Lexi Thompson got the job done, winning the LPGA’s Hana Bank Championship in South Korea. Still only 20, it’s Lexi’s sixth win on tour, and second this season, she’s really pushed on since her GolfPunk photoshoot.
The curse of The Olympic sadly struck again for Lexi Thompson at the U.S. Women's Open Championship. Once again, the front runner in a major event, women's this time, came unstuck over the Bay Area course.
Stoke Park's Conor Gough became the first Englishman to win the Boys Amateur Championship since current world number 42 Matthew Fitzpatrick in 2012, when he triumphed at Royal Portrush, on Sunday.
Beating, bitching and bullying. All in the name of healthy, loving parenting... Including: Phil Mickelson Snr; Davis Love II & BJ Wie
