Quick Recap: The Houston Open

Jaeger Holds Off Scheffler

“I’m going to try to beat his brains out this weekend.”

That’s what Stephen Jaeger said to the media on Friday after the second round.

He was talking about world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.

To be clear, he wasn’t talking smack, the comment was actually made after he spent a good amount of time publicly admiring Scottie’s golf game. Then he ended his commentary with the above quote.

Gotta respect the competitive spirit, right?

Of course, he didn’t know at the time that his first tour victory would come down to a miss by Scottie on the 72nd hole.

Speaking of the 18th, Scottie had some issues there this week and they ended up being the difference in the tournament.

First he had that terrible 3-putt double bogey on Friday and then he missed this 7 footer to force a playoff on Sunday.

Scottie Scheffler managed to miss this putt that would’ve forced a playoff and kept his dreams of winning three consecutive events alive @ForePlayPod

As Brandel Chamblee said about 300 times on the broadcast, he just never stepped up and took command of the golf tournament.

Jaeger’s even-par back nine was enough to hold him off and nab his first win.

Scottie Fails, Nelly Succeeds

While Scottie couldn’t hang on for three in a row, Nelly Korda did.

She shot 65 on Sunday en route to her third straight LPGA victory. She’s the women’s world number one for a reason.

She’s got one of the most admirable, smooth, consistent swings you’ll ever see.

A near make from the fairway! 🎯

@NellyKorda tucks it tight to the pin and knocks in the birdie to re-gain the solo lead. #TP5x
