Sniff’s Weekly Roundup

Here’s What’s Happened:
1. Davis Love III becomes third oldest golfer to win on the PGA Tour at age 51. Love started Sunday four strokes back, but came from behind to win the Wyndham Championship. His win came with an invitation to The Barclays next weekend. Love has 21 career victories, his most recent coming in 2008. He ended his winless drought Sunday with a final score of 17-under.
2. Tiger Woods season ends with 10th place finish on Sunday. Woods was just two shots off the lead heading into the final round. But after a triple-bogey on the par-4 11th hole, he bogeyed the 12th hole. He had a late run of birdies, but it was too late. The forty-year-old has suffered through several injuries this season, and looked to be grabbing at his back on Sunday. He did draw large crowds and lots of social media attention when it looked like he may have a chance to win in the earlier rounds. However, Woods season ended with a 13-under at the Wyndham Championship.
People were so nice this entire week, tons of respect for Greensboro. Very cool to see @Love3d get another win here.

3. Lydia Ko earns eighth career victory at Canadian Pacific Women’s Open. Ko defeated Stacy Lewis to remain at the number 2 ranked woman in the world. This was the third time Ko won this specific tournament. Previously, in 2012 Ko won the Canadian Pacific Open becoming the youngest ever to do so at the age of 15.
