En meget fornøyd vinner på PGA Touren i Mexico

17.11 Graeme McDowell:
Sterkt etter svak sesong
Det var hyggelig at en så god spiller som Graeme McDowell klarte å vinne sist helg på PGA Touren i Mexico.

Til tross for at han var fem over par på det første hullet på de tre første rundene, klarte han til slutt å vinne turneringen. Han har ikke hatt en eneste topp 10 plassering siden januar. Det er uvant kost fra denne major-vinneren. Han rykket oppover på verdensrankingen fra 85. til 62 plass.

Dette skriver hans utstyrsleverandør om hva som skjedde og hvilket utstyr han brukte:


MCDOWELL WINS OHL CLASSIC AT MAYAKOBA IN A PLAY-OFF
HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA – November 16, 2015 – Srixon® and Cleveland® Golf congratulate staffer Graeme McDowell for his victory at the 2015 OHL Classic at Mayakoba held at El Camaleon Golf Course, in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. The 36-year-old from Portrush, Northern Ireland, sank an 8-foot putt on the 18th hole of Sunday’s regulation play to close with a final round of 5-under 66 to qualify for Monday’s play-off with overall score of 18-under 266. McDowell sealed the victory over fellow staffer Russell Knox with a birdie on the first hole of today’s play-off, tapping in a three-foot putt following a five iron which grazed the edge of the cup.

“I dreamed of this day coming again,” said McDowell. “I thought it would be maybe not quite as soon as this, and I said to myself that I was really going to appreciate it. And I do appreciate it. This feels really nice.”

The victory was McDowell’s first win dating back to the 2013 French Open, and he was in the final year of his PGA Tour exemption. McDowell had not finished in the Top 10 in over nine months and he had dropped to No. 85 in the world rankings.
