Horschel's reaction to Nicklaus' feat
Duringthe Masters Tournament, Billy Horschel was mobbed by children before getting a
handshake from Jack Nicklaus. Horschel, who is not old enough to remember Jack
Nicklaus' feat, has long longed to emulate the methodical approach of Tiger
Woods. Hence, his reaction to Nicklaus' feat was understandable. Horschel was
clearly overwhelmed by the feat.
Afterhis morning speech, Billy Horschel called Jack Nicklaus "Big Man" and
thanked him profusely. Despite his lead of five strokes on the final round, the
American was not a hero, but he was close. Despite his overnight lead, Horschel
didn't buckle when his nine-hole streak ended with a bogey on the par-three
sixth hole. Then, his overnight lead dwindled to two strokes with six holes to
play. Moreover, he made an eagle on the par-five 15th hole, extending his lead
to four strokes. Afterwards, he shook Nicklaus' hand again, and the two players
were congratulated for their achievement.
Afterreading about Nicklaus' feat, Billy Horschel made a commitment to take his game
to the next level. His caddie, Mark Fulcher, told him to take his time and
think more before hitting the shot. After all, he is relying on his process to
win the tournament. During a round of golf, Billy Horschel was in between using
a full seven-iron and a three-quarter iron.For more news
Horschel's putt at the 18th hole
Astunning final round 64 from Cameron Smith at St. Andrews in Scotland has
helped him win the Open Championship. The American overturned a four-shot
deficit to win the tournament by one shot, and he has earned the praise of Jack
Nicklaus. The victory was Smith's third major championship of the season, and
his feat equals that of Tiger Woods. "It is a great feeling to be able to
match that feat," said Nicklaus. "I'm delighted for you and I'm glad
you enjoyed the game," he said. "I'm thrilled to be here in St.
Andrews."
Asfor his heroics on the last hole, he made a bunker shot to save par and give
himself a fighting chance. Though he was aware of the danger he was in, he
played his shot and hoped for the best. Afterwards, he said to Nicklaus,
"It's just like you!"
Throughouthis career, Tom Watson won three times, two in his rookie year. He also reached
the top-10 at The Open Championship three times in a row, including The British
Open. In addition, he finished T9 at the U.S. Open, and T4 at the IVB
Philadelphia Classic. Last week, he was in the top 10 at the Masters
Tournament, and he is already compared to Jack Nicklaus.
Fitzpatrick's surge on the back
Aperfect final round of 64 has helped Cameron Smith win the Open at St. Andrews.
He overturned a four-stroke deficit to win by a stroke over playing partner
Cameron Young. The 20-under-par total, which Smith matched with his third win
of the season, surpassed Tiger Woods' record from 2000. Nicklaus has been a fan
of Smith's for several years and was impressed with his play.
Smith,who has been a member of the Masters club since 1964, echoed Nicklaus's praise
after matching his Open triumph. Nicklaus was particularly impressed with
Fitzpatrick's bunker shot, which was a 'hit and hope' move. "The shot was
a great way to win, but he knew that it had to be perfect," Nicklaus wrote
on his social media account.
Afterwinning the Open in 2011, Smith was also lauded by Jack Nicklaus, who had won
it in 1992. But he missed the cut in his subsequent five Opens, despite the
fact that he was matched by Woods in the World Cup. In the U.S. Open, he
finished third, but fell one stroke short of Crampton, who had previously
matched Nicklaus's Open win.
Despitethe low-key nature of the Ryder Cup, he had a great season with six wins in a
row. He also finished second at the PGA Championship and T4 at the Canadian
Open, where he shot an even-par 71 in the final round. At the Masters, he
finished T27, two strokes behind winner Gary Player. But, he hasn't lost hope
despite the low score.
Fitzpatrick's victory at Muirfield Village
Inan interview with Golf Digest, golf legend Jack Nicklaus praised the Irishman's
performance at Muirfield Village. Muirfield Village is an upscale golf-oriented
community in Dublin, Ohio, a suburb of Columbus. Nicklaus was a frequent
visitor to Muirfield Village. His prestigious golf courses have shaped the
game's history.
The18-time major champion praised Fitzpatrick's shot on the 72nd hole as an
"amazing iron shot under pressure." The winner finished on
six-under-par and joked with Jack Nicklaus at the trophy presentation.
Fitzpatrick also won a member-member event at Nicklaus's club earlier this
year. Jack Nicklaus's praise for Fitzpatrick was swift.
In2008, Tiger Woods became the oldest winner of the Masters. He had started the
final round tied for 20th, seven strokes behind the leader. He fought back and
won the tournament by one stroke. In addition, Woods won the Old Tom Morris
Award from the Golf Course Superintendents Association and the ASAP Sports/Jim
Murray Award from the Golf Writers Association of America. He also won the U.S.
Senior Open and finished T36 at the Toshiba Senior Classic.
Despitethe praise, Fitzpatrick has a difficult task ahead. In 2013, the same year
Fitzpatrick won the Memorial, he was a member of the Champions Skins Game. Last
year, he was the leading player by six strokes after a rain-delayed third
round. However, his win was overturned after a positive Covid-19 test.Fallen is a great source ofinformational site.
Cameron Smith's surge on the back
AdamSmith's seven-under-64 at the Open has left McIlroy trailing by two strokes with
four to play. Smith birdied the par-3 eighth hole and made a two-putt birdie on
the par-3 ninth. He then drove to the 10th green and two-putted from ninety
feet for his third birdie of the day. He birdied the par-five 14th to take the
lead. At the last hole, he rolled in an eagle putt from 35 feet, and Smith was
finished.
Afterstarting the final round four shots behind McIlroy, Smith took full advantage
of scoring opportunities on the Old Course. He birdied five of his last seven
holes to go to 20-under-par and win the Open Championship. With this win, he is
the first Australian to win the Open since Greg Norman in 1993. His final round
at the Open was also the lowest for a champion at St. Andrews since 2003.
TheEnglishman has moved into the lead by two strokes in The 150th Open. The
Scottish golfer raced to the halfway stage in 31 holes and continued to build
on that momentum down the back nine. He eagled the par-5 14th on his way to a
64 on Thursday. Cameron Young kept up his pace with an eight-under-par round on
Thursday and will now join Smith in the final group.
