Martin Flores shot a 1-under 70 on Friday to take a one-stroke lead after the second round of the Web.com Tour Finals’ Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship.
Let’s not forget the vertigo that cruelled his chances at the US Open, the back and thumb injuries that he saddled to other high finishes in majors. That not only wrapped up his European Tour card, it paid just over $300,000 (211,332 pounds).
After the biggest win of his career at the Players Championship back in May, Fowler was victorious at the Deutsche Bank Championship this weekend. Three in the FedEx Cup standings behind Jason Day and Jordan Spieth.
The 22-year-old reigning Masters and US Open champion stumbled to a two-over 73 which meant he missed consecutive cuts as an amateur or professional on the USPGA Tour the first time in his young career.
“I believe I can find that extra one or two per cent to get me over the line when I’m in contention again”. “And where I was based, I mean it wasn’t the greatest place”.
His rating of 17 underneath par wasn’t fairly ok to overhaul Jason Day on the PGA Championship, however runner-up Jordan Spieth walks away with a pleasant comfort.
His win moves him to number 3 in the world but Day said he was not done just yet: “I still want to accomplish that No. 1 goal of mine, which is to be the best player in the world“.
In the group ahead was Tiger Woods, who spent Monday with Jason Dufner, Matt Kuchar and Gary Woodland. Maturity is the aspect of Spieth’s character that instantly hits anybody who spends time in his company.
