J<\/span>ust in case you were not out of town, there was no way of missing this eventful event that took place somewhere in Atlanta, Georgia for golf fanatics. Tiger Woods won his first match in 5 years, an unbelievable comeback going down in golf lore. His last win was at WGC golf tournament in 2013.<\/span><\/p>\n

How did he do it? Tiger’s comeback<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a quote from NBC:<\/span><\/p>\n

NBC Sports Group\u2019s final round coverage of the TOUR Championship on Sunday (3:00-6:15 p.m. ET) earned a 5.21 Overnight rating, as Tiger Woods claimed his 80th career victory, and his first in five years. The telecast is up 206% vs. 2017 (1.70).  It also becomes the highest-rated telecast in the history of the FedExCup Playoffs (2007-\u201918) and the highest-rated PGA TOUR telecast in 2018 (excluding majors). Coverage peaked from 5:30-6p (7.19) as Woods finished his round and as Justin Rose was being crowned the FedExCup champion, only trailing the peaks for The Masters (11.03) and PGA Championship (8.28) in 2018. The extended coverage window (1:30-6:15 p.m. ET) posted at 4.35 Overnight rating, which is the highest-rated TOUR Championship telecast on record (2000-\u201918).<\/span><\/p>\n

How much did Tiger earn last Sunday, did you ask?<\/span><\/p>\n

Tour Championship win: $1.620 million; FedEx Cup Bonus: $3 million for second place.<\/span><\/p>\n

G<\/span>oing back to SGC\u2019s twenty-third game last Sunday at Century Pines golf course, it was a cool eighteen degrees Celsius with a bit of gushing easterly wind in the Hamilton peninsula. Twenty-three players showed up and played with contenders battling it out for major accolades before closing out the season with only two more games to go. For those who were trying to catch up, time was running out but never forget the remaining two games. It is the Grand Finals where top five players with two lowest aggregate net scores win a prize.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let us get to Sunday\u2019s scramble.<\/span><\/p>\n

He\u2019s baaaaaaaaack. Joey Cruz let loose last Sunday with a net score of 62. Joey\u2019s performance rewarded himself of a complete sweep \u2013 all Nassau corners & day prize. He also broke the lowest net record of the season by a stroke held previously by Mar DeVeyra & Bong Munson with 63. The catch was, this was his only win so far and what a win this was. More to come you\u2019d think? Surely think so.<\/span><\/p>\n

Two other members signed low net scores in the 60s \u2013 the up & coming Fred Halili with net 66 and one of our promising newcomers, Louie Romero with 68. Very nice indeed.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is getting tight to all three major races as well as the last monthly race.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with Month 5 contest: Ray Macapagal still leads by one over the surprising Fred Halili followed by \u2018Hey, I am pain free\u2019 Jun Paculaba, seven behind RayMac.<\/span><\/p>\n

POY:<\/span> JC Montilla still leads Jimmy Manguerra by a meager three strokes. It was only a stroke a week ago. This race used to be a race between JC & Jimmy but someone is making this interesting. Mike Montilla made it known that this race was not over yet and made these two looking over their shoulders. With only nine behind the leader and six from second place, Mike cut down the lead to nine from fifteen. This one turns out to be a nerve breaking contest. Who will prevail with two more games unaccounted for?<\/span><\/p>\n

JC Montilla<\/p><\/div>\n

SPOY:<\/span> With a net of 62, Joey Cruz jumped four people from fifth place twelve strokes behind to take over the lead from the idle Bert Cerrudo who now trails Joey by four strokes. Seho Oh drops down to third nine strokes off. Bingoy Pe\u00f1a grabs fourth place followed by Mar DeVeyra in fifth thirteen and fourteenth behind the leader respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

MIP:<\/span> Sorry folks, but I think this race is over because of the huge gap created by the leader. This one may I say, is in the bag for JC Montilla. Fred Halili switches places with Manny Marquez, second and third respectively. Mike Montilla holds on to fourth while Jimmy Manguerra regains fifth place.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
