Jeev Milkha Singh went on to win the Volvo Masters today. It is the first time he's played Valderrama and the first time he's played in the European Tour's version of a tour championship. Sergio didn't do well at all today. He was +1 on the day, failed to birdie any of the par 5s and racked up 4 bogeys, the most in any of his four rounds. He did make a couple of good putts, but it just wasn't enough. Sergio finished tied for second with Luke Donald and Padraig Harrington. Harrington went on to capture the Order of Merit. Other players of note: Jose Maria Olazabal, whom I read was stricken with the illness that plagued many of the other players, caddies and others this week, rebounded with a -2 69 today, and Jose Manuel Lara had the low round of the day with a 67.
The course there at Valderrama is very beautiful with those cute stone bridges that I seem to like and interesting trees. Not like the average tree we see on every American course.
I now hope that David Howell will take some time off to get his shoulder healed up. American PGA tour players whined because they say their season is too long with the Tour Championship at the end of October and the first event of the next season in January, but the European Tour season begins again in a couple of weeks. Hopefully Howell will be able to rest up some.
