PGA Tour Tightens With World Match Final Wins

The continuous competition that is a part of the PGA Tour has now created a tighter competition for golf players. The World Match Final was won by Ross Fisher with a 4 and 3 that added into a changing course for this particular game. The defeat is one that took Fisher to the next level of his game while providing a different set of challenges for those that are continuing on the tour.

The win by Fisher was one that was a close win to Anthony Kim, who came in second place. The World Match Play is known as one of the most difficult courses on the tour, specifically because of the 36 holes that are on the course, as well as the physical and mental challenges of the golf arena. Even though the demands were placed throughout this game, Fisher came ahead because of an eagle at the 22nd hole and a birdie in the next hole. This placed him in a 3 up lead.

These two main moves by Fisher allowed him to stay in the lead, while putting Kim behind with some critical swings that were missed throughout the course. This included two misses on short putts and several misses on the stretch. However, he tried to gain his move on the green by rallying on the 18th hole and a birdie putt on the 24th hole. Even though this allowed him to gain some strength in the competition, it wasn’t enough to put him in first. The challenges and every swing counting in this final led to a strong finish by Fisher.

Because of this particular win, Fisher has now earned $1.1 million and has switched places in the European Tour to 3rd place. The competition for this particular tour will continue with global challenges next week in the World Golf Championships in Shanghai China and the Kiwi Challenge in New Zealand.
