2019 - Week 11 Winners

Guido Migliozzi (ranked 78th by Golf Predictor) won the Magical Kenya Open pres. by Absa on the European PGA Tour. The 22 year old Italian won his first tour title with an assured final day's play in East Africa. Migliozzi edged clear of a crowded leaderboard on the closing stretch and held his nerve admirably to close it out and win by a single shot. Our top ranked player, last week's winner Justin Harding, finished strongly for tied 2nd and despite the poor field, we had twelve of the top seventeen plus ties (12/23).

Rory McIlroy (ranked 4th by Golf Predictor) won The Players Championship on the US PGA Tour. The 29 year old Northern Irishman finally sealed another victory with a strong finish at Sawgrass. McIlroy overcame a slow start on Sunday to finish with two late birdies for a one shot victory over Jim Furyk. Our top ranked player, Dustin Johnson, finished in tied 5th for his first top ten at the event. Overall, we had eight of the top twenty plus ties (8/21) in an event where many of the bigger names failed to perform on the tough layout.
