Davis Love III Wins Wyndham Championship with a 64

Love’s comeback might just beginning.

Love’s 21st career victory saw him jump into the top 125 in the FedEx Cup rankings, earning his spot in the opening event of the series, next week’s Barclays. I just wasn’t able to get on any kind of roll early…. “You just wonder if the body is going to wear out”. He had foot surgery this spring that kept him out nearly two months. As it turned out, he said that was a wise decision. Halfway by way of the afternoon, 5 gamers shared the lead at 15 underneath. “I’ve been saying all year if I putt well enough to win on the [over-50s] Champions Tour I can win on this tour”. Gore shot 69 in the last round.

Woods had since joined forces with swing coach Chris Como and said before the tournament they had reviewed tape of his swings as an amateur in an attempt to regain some of his lost power. Although he has not officially committed, his agent, Mark Steinberg, previously said he would play the tournament.

Love, a 51-year-old who hadn’t won a tour since 2008, had a big early surge and then was steady down the stretch. Now that his 2014-15 campaign is officially over, here’s a recap of the highs and lows of Woods’ season.

“Any victory now is going to be really sweet when you’re over 50″, Love said. Woods shot 70, finished four strokes back and ended at No. 178 in the standings, well outside the cut-off of 125.

But his hopes of winning his 80th PGA Tour title following a barren couple of years have gone up in smoke after a meltdown on the par four 11th hole. Tiger Woods will have to wait a little longer to get another chance.

Here’s a man who lives in Seattle, and was returning from working in Hawaii, and his first question is about a tournament that in years past had trouble attracting the attention of people outside of Greensboro, let alone outside the state. Scott Brown (68), Charl Schwartzel (66) and Paul Casey (67) were two behind Love.

Still, there was a highlight when he drained a hole-in-one on No. 3.

Tour Confidential: Has Tiger Woods Hit Rock Bottom? “Rarely does it come to fruition like this: The absolute best-case scenario when Woods decided…to make his first appearance at the tournament”.

Kizzire closed with his second straight 7-under 64 to finish at 20-under 264 at Fox Den, four strokes ahead of South Korea’s Si Woo Kim and Canada’s Brad Fritsch.

Love made his hay on the front nine, playing hole Nos. He notched eagles on both of the course’s par-5s.

This statistical exercise essentially measures the quality of a golf shot, as in one with positive strokes gained, based on a better-than-average shot for a PGA Tour professional. It’ll be the first time he’s made the trip up Magnolia Lane since 2011.

Woods, however, missed his chance to make the playoffs, likely needing to finish solo second or a victory Sunday to extend his season.

Despite the poor season he was having, the Wyndham Championship needed to print an extra 49,000 tickets after Woods announced that he would be playing in the event.
