Race to Dubai

By | | No Comments

The year is drawing to a close with the only major event left being the European Tour’s “Race to Dubai”.  It looks like it could get pretty exciting with Rory McIlroy just ahead of Danny Willitt.  As the European Tour season draws to a close, the PGA Tour has already started the 2016 year.  (Slightly confusing)  As I mentioned in my last post, the young players are really doing well, and they have completely dominated the early tournaments.  Granted, all the top players are not playing, but that doesn’t mean the wins have been diminished.  My player to watch continues to be Justin Thomas, and his win in the CIMB Classic was very impressive.  The last item I want to mention is that Phil Mickelson has just fallen out of the Top 25 in the World list.  Why is that mentioned? He had been in the Top 25 for 20 and I believe 3 weeks straight.  Some might call Mickelson inconsistent, but this fact would have to say that he has been incredibly consistent!

Young Players are Here to Stay!

As the tournaments pass in the 2015 season it is now apparent that a new group of young players has taken root, and I don’t think they are going away.  Yesterday Chris Kirk got his 4th tour victory and Jordon Spieth was right on his tail 1 stroke behind. 23 year old Byeong An won the BMW Championship at Wentworth, one of the top championships for the European Tour. With McIlroy winning the Match Play and then at Quail Hollow, Spieth’s great win at Augusta, the game is in great hands.  Other young players to watch, Justin Thomas, Ben Martin, Kevin Kisner, Daniel Berger and four time winners Patrick Reed and Chris Kirk.

US open is right around the corner!  Great time to watch the game.
