Honda Classic: Michael Thompson



What an exciting week for Michael Thompson who held his composure and got the job done on Sunday with a round of 69. With a few bad memories from the last time he was in the hunt, Michael learned from his mistakes and correctly applied his newfound approach today (yesterday). This win is Michael’s first win on the PGA Tour, allowing him to play next week in the WGC event.

The Honda attracts a large amount of great golfers, so winning here feels like winning a major championship.  Not to mention PGA National can be a tough task for many. This is evident in the case of the World #1, Rory Mcllroy, who struggled during his second round, ultimately withdrawing (Best wishes to Rory).

What’s next: Well Michael is currently 27 turning 28 this year and if the common trend on Tour stays true (many players tend to play well during their early 30s) this might be the beginning of something great. Best of luck Michael!
