It was a Sunday marathon for Liv in Agoikago, relatively talking.
Although the celebrations began, as they always do, with a gun start, the forbidden action as tensions rose down to extension.
The cause of the slowdown was an unusual development in Pro Golf: a so -called “PLAY off the double“Second in the history of the league, the pit Dean Burmeter Against Jon Rahm and Josele Ballester, and Burmeter’s Stinger GC against Torque GC.
After all, the Burmeter was the winner in both accounts, winning both individual and team play for his South African team.
First came his individual victory, the courtesy of a bird on the 18th. Burmeter rolled into his stack and enjoyed a short moment of celebration in green after falling. Then, after the interviews were complete, the Burmeter headed to the back of the greenery for squad Playoff, where his teammates Branden Grace and Charl Schwartzel both poured into their birds to win the team competition in the short rule.
In total, the double -ii lay last approximately 30 minutes, and the Burmeter left with the winner controls from both. But after that two wins, it was clear that Burmeter’s solo triumph kept the most weight.
“That has been exciting,” Burmeter said. “That before Virginia I have spent a fierce time, personal items, and simply grind and trying to get better.”
Burmeter said the source of his emotions Sunday in Liv Chicago was a much more exhaustive marathon than a 55 -holes golf tour. His wife, Melissa, is an ultra-mararatonerwho completed her latest 9-hour journey, 50-plus miles during the week of Liv’s visit to Virginia in early June.
“My wife finished an ultra marathon week of (Virginia),” he said. “That Sunday I was on my phone watching it, and that really gave me an inspiration. If it can do it, it can run 90 kilometers in a day, nine and a half or whatever it was, then I can do nothing.”
Burmeter’s inspiration was paid in a main way on Sunday – he collected $ 4 million from the profit of the individual competition, and an additional $ 750,000 to win the team competition, a $ 4.75 million salary that calculated a considerable part of it $ 22 million Careers income going on the day.
In other words, there was a good reason for emotions for Team Burmeter Sunday in Agoikago.
“I just kept it, and Jason, my caddy, was just phenomenal. He was like, we will never give up. We will not give up. We have gone too shit to give up,” Burmeter said. “I think of my kids and my wife at home, and I’m just trying to do the best I can for them.”
