Welcome back to the end of Monday, where the man in the seat before me just crossed the gas and repeated his place at the same time. An impressive joy, to be safe, though harsh on my laptop and my morals. But nothing can take me away for a long time – I’m heading to Dublin! And then north from there. It is the open week of the championship. But first, for the news…
Golf things I like
Jumping back, and back, and back.
What moment do you think you explain better Grace Kim’s huge comeback Sunday in Evian?
She admitted that she first thought she was out of her when she made double double in no. 12. But she also dropped a switch.
“I said to myself and my kadi,” I have nothing else to lose, “Kim said.
Then that Zog 15. And 16. She came to No. 18 two strokes after leader Jeeno Thitikul-then almost as she kept her access to the financier PAR-5, eventually entering a connected eagle.
Things became controversial even more outrageous in the first hole of the Play off, when Kim blocked her access to the water. Most likely Zog needed to extend the play, she greeted her goal of Chip, making the bird last.
How else could it end? Kim played again No. 18, flags her approach and greeted Putti for Eagle and the victory of the walk. She too made her look easy, but…
“I couldn’t breathe, Tom,” she said in her winner’s interview. “Yes, I couldn’t see it really. I was like, is it dead? Yes. I’m hitting Putt. Nice to go into the hole.”
To summarize things, here are some statistics from its last three holes of the day:
-wo total
-A penalty kick
-Five under the par
Gaining a magnificent fashion of premature return – this is golf items I like.
Winner
Who won the week?
Grace won the Evian championship; It was the main victory for 24-year-old Aussie.
“Definitely is definitely important to have people to support you, and even at a time when you do not believe in yourself, that those people know you are capable and they are here for that journey,” she said. “So very grateful to them. Yes, I honestly wouldn’t have done it without them.”
Chris Gotterup won the scottish Open Genessis, holding a studied stars field that included Rory Mcilroy, Scottie Scheffler and many others; He was Understand so with emotions In his interview after the round that he could not speak.
Gotterup’s victory felt important because it was not a casual one -sided; He has shown signs of claims – he would be T28 or better at nine out of 11 started entering a week – but had not broken. As a bonus: He qualified to open in the process and suggested in the middle of the road through his oppressor that he could cancel his flights to California (where he would play the Barracuda championship this week) from the current real -time podium.
William Mouw Isco Championship won, the alternative event of the Alternative field of PGA Tour, thanks to a final 61 round that sent it from T25 to a one -shot victory. And now, a fun fact of William Mouw: He grew up on an egg farm.
“My parents have owned and operated Billy’s Egg Farm in southern California for 30 years. To give birth and raise on a farm taught me work ethics and hard work and nothing is gained – you have to work or everything,” he said.
“So it came from a farm, it was amazing. It was – it was obviously led me to see what it takes to do it in this world. Seeing my dad to wake up early mornings and work hard on the farm, deliver eggs, and just strengthened in me that the hard work is to pay in the end, only – you need a lot of it.”
Bonus William Mouw in his celebration plans: “I’m going to Queen Queen. Yes, I’ll go to have some bladder with my wife and we’ll just enjoy it.”
GOOCH GOOCH Won the Liv Golf event in Valderrama, coming out of the local favorite Jon Rahm.
“I just can’t describe how special it is to beat Rahmbo. While all fans may not love that part, it makes it a little more special to me,” Gooch said. “It’s been two years since I won. My last victory was here. So two years have passed a lot of hard work, a lot of time in this craft, and a lot of blood, sweat and tears shed here.”
Neal Shipley He won the Ascendant at TPC Colorado, his second victory of the season’s Korn Ferry Tour, despite starting seven strokes on Sunday. “I thought I had absolutely no chance if I am honest,” he admitted after the round. But one Sunday 64 won the full victory – and everything, but guarantees a place in PGA Tour next season.
AND Steve allan won Dick’s Open at the PGA Tour Champions; He fired at six under 66 for a four -shot victory. The victory was his second this season and came with a different second boy – JoeyThis time – serving as caddy.
Non -winner
Some people approaching
Promising weeks for some big weapons: Rory Mcilroy (T2), Scottie Scheffler (T8), Xander schauuffle (T8) as well as some British that rounded up in shape: Marco Money (T2), Matthew Fitzpatrick (T4) and Justin Rose (Sixth). Nicolai Hojgaard (T4) and Matti Schmid (T17) were others to advance in the open. Others with great name showed form signs including Sepp Straka (seventh), Ludwig aberg (T8) and Victor Hovland (T11).
In Evian, Jeeno thitikul A raised in its previous championship of the former heart-is not every day you have to overcome someone who makes Eagle-Birdie-Eagle. Minjee leewho won the KPMG women’s PGA in June, completed T3 along with amateur Lottie Woad, which became acceptable for an LPGA card through the leap program; It is the first to qualify in that way.
In Kentucky, amateur Jackson’s birch ended t6 while Kevin Kisner Ended T8 – his best result in years. This doesn’t get it exactly in Ryder Cup’s conversation but raises it within 200 money in FedEx Cup…
Short
5 quotes that go to opening.
1. World no. 1 Scottie Scheffler After his T8: “Undoubtedly arranged in the area of time. I feel like I did some good things this week,” he said. “I feel like I’m really close. I feel like I was close to playing a really good golf. I just have to take a moment.”
2. World no. 2 Rory Mcilroy After his T2: “No disappointment, really. I’m really happy with the place where everything is. I look forward to going to the portrait tonight and going to the golf course early tomorrow and just turning my attention to this. But I feel like I got everything from this week, really, I loved.”
3. World no. 3 and the defense of the open sample Xander schauuffle After his T8: “Whenever you get a big title, they definitely remember you when they announce your name in tee and it’s a friendly memory – and then it goes away, so you have to win it again.”
4. Ion Rahm After a T2 in Liv Andalucia: “Honestly, I probably hit it better than I had in the last half.
5. Justin Rose, who ended up as an open competitor last year, after his T6: “I think there will be some rain in the forecast. Ireland looks wetter there than here. Mixed Baga, I would say. Be prepared for all eventualities.”

Ryder Cup Watch
Gotterup time?!
TTT is seductive every week to put the latest winner at the center of the Ryder Cup conversation. But Chris Gotterup There is a easier occasion than, to say, Brian Campbell Last week. He is from New Jersey, he runs the cover from the golf ball and he is in a strong form. With this he said, he entered this week at no. 71 in Ryder Cup rankings and is still only 41 after his victory, which means he still has a long hill to climb…
On the European side, Marco Money Will overcome the ranking of no. 33 After his race appearance. Nicolai Hojgaard Will also, starting to close the gap on his twin brother Rasmus. As for the publication of the time, only the US rankings have been updated; We will update the European team when they do it.
Here we stand:

A swinging thought
By the yin angel.
Asked about her mentality at one end of the bird-zog-zogu-eagle, part of a final 63 round that left T5, here’s what The yin angel Had to offer:
“I think Sandra Palmer She told me at US Open this year, she said: ‘On your last day, let Mrs. Luck take the wheel and have God to put your hand on your shoulders.’ “
A big question
What has changed in the LIV OWGR app?
Liv and official official golf that ranks each notified This Liv had resettled an attempt to join the official system and ultimately earn the ranking points for its members. This is a big issue symbolically; Liv had essentially signaled that she was refusing to establish when she withdrew her request last year. Their reassessment suggests that they want to play the ball, so it will be interesting to see specifically what changes they will make. Different rules of promotion and removal? More official trails in the league? Changes in forms in any way? This feels like a potentially important step in the Liv’s attempt to become part of the Golf world, so the question is: will their efforts be successful?
One thing to see
Shane Lowry.
On Monday we are launching a video feature for some time since we went through Shane Lowry as part of his cover story about the current Golf Magazine number. He reflects on his epic victory of the portrait, and we contextualize why it was such a significant victory. If that video is not out yet, it will be soon – you can track it by agreeing here.
News by Seattle
On Monday finish the headquarters.
The fact that there is a direct flight from Seattle to Dublin makes this Redeye actually quite exciting, knowing that I will sit on the exact island. The only weakness: a companion especially with the hawk’s eyes weighed and then confiscated my grade while boarding the plane, as it was very heavy. Given the stories of the horror I have seen and heard of luggage in Dublin, I’m sure this will not end well. But I am dreaming of a train trip across the Irish northern village and I am determined to go there in one way or another.
We will be seen all week from Portrush.
