JB Holmes rallies past Justin Thomas to overcome 34-hole day

Los Angeles-the finish of the marathon was only part of the difficulty important to JB Holmes. He still had a chance to fight the shortcoming of 4 shots in front of Justin Thomas on the greenish ones, which were increasingly bumpy with that number of prints in the 9 o'clock direction, and the whirlwind that made the Riviera more solid than ever.

With one good interval, 2 gigantic kicks and a tremendous support from Thomas on the back nine, Holmes won the Genesis Open on Sunday for his own first PGA tour title in almost 3 years, which actually brought him a trip back to the masters.

This difficult was the final round of the 34-hole day, in fact that Holmes did not arrange a bird for the last 8 holes and closed with 1-under 70.

"I knew it would be quite difficult to get a low score," said Holmes. - I needed Justin's support."

Thomas shot 65 in the afternoon in order to finish the 3rd round with 4 shots. Holmes talks, in fact that his Caddy, Brandon Parsons, asked him at some point, whether he thinks, in fact that Thomas gets to 20-under par, the account, which only 2 other players have achieved in the Riviera.

"I wondered, `Do you have the look of this round?"He was simply unimaginable in round 3," said Holmes.

However Thomas played a huge role in Holmes ' victory.

It took 19 blows to the untamed back 9, which established 3 2 shots swing because putting.

Thomas, who completed with 75, 3 strikes from a long distance on the 10th when Holmes arranged birdie for his own first lead of the week. Holmes returned the favor in the proper hole when he turned around, the bird in the Shocker bogey , three-putting from 3 feet.

And then he went back to Thomas, and what turned out to be the deciding factor.

Holmes missed the 13th green on the right and jumped 12 feet. Thomas was about 65 feet away and 8 feet behind him. Holmes set up a par putt, and Thomas not only missed the personal putt for the par, he got the coming one for the double Scarecrow.

This led Thomas from the 1st in front to the 1st in the back, and he never caught up.

Holmes delivered once again a dagger with a 12-foot pair of 16-foot earnings straight before Thomas arranged for birdie to avoid another 1-2nd shots, and Thomas had no way of converting birdie's chances with 6 feet and 20 feet on the last 2 holes.

"To arrange 2 steps back with a double is a big step, due to the fact that it was not easy to arrange birds, especially with 14, 15, 16, 3 holes in the teeth," Thomas said, hinting at the vortex. "I have no doubt, in fact, that he would say, in fact, that this is probably the biggest turning point of the round for him, and this blow to 16."

Thomas stated that he was actually fighting with the wind, and this "demonstrated a defect in my this Irge."

"B. I. won. He played great, " said Thomas, his friends a Kentucky boy he had known since his youth. "This is a disappointment every time in order to hand over the tournament. I feel actually what was required to win this thing."

Holmes, who finished at 14-under 270, rose from No. 100 to No. 42 in the world, in fact that made his right to the world Golf championship in Mexico city in the proper week. But a lot of time was spent, and he decided not to speak. In fact with regard to an invitation to the masters?

"Let me think," he said with a grin. - No, it's great to be back every time."

Tiger woods shot 65 to finish his personal morning round 3, but he's never been on the winning spectrum. Woods closed for 72 days and became attached to the 15th.

"I'm tired," woods said. "I don't take into account if I'm one, but I definitely felt it now. Whirlwind, frost. I was at 10 (Under) and I slipped 4 shots. That's how it happens."

He said, in fact, that will not touch their own clubs on the first day of the week, such as it comes from the frosty air at sea level in Mexico city on the proper week.

It is likely that the biggest breakthrough for Holmes was on the seventh par-4, when his wedge from the bunker did not clean his lip and buried himself in the grass framing the sand. In the beginning he had feared, in fact they can't find. As soon as he arranged it, he was given relief from the built-in ball and ran away with a Scarecrow.

Holmes and Thomas weren't the only ones fighting the greens. Adam Scott was right in the hunt until he missed 6 alternate strokes from under 10 feet that nimbly brought him out of the fight.

Scott closed with a 76 and tied for seventh space.

-You will not take a few, said Scott. "We have seen a number of four-and three-patts, but you can't miss any of the 6 straight holes. ... In case you take a look at JB, why he won, he's had unimaginable blows, and I'm not now."

Si Woo Kim had a 66, the low score the final round and finished 3. Rory McIlroy practically came back into the game when he holed a bunker shot of the 16th in order to get into 2 shots, but he failed the par - 5 bird of the 17th and was scammed by the wind, making a Scarecrow at the last hole for the 69. He tied for the 4th mark Leishman (68).

No one had more difficult time than Jordan Spiet, whose final round included bird, steam, bogeyman, double bogeyman, triple bogeyman, and quadruple bogeyman, the last one on the 10th hole when he slashed 4 shots from the bunkers. He shot 81., his 2 highest score as a specialist.
