Did DJ get to the lead at one point earlier?

DJ's real disaster was not scoring well on par 5's yesterday when they are a drive and mid to short iron for him

Curran wins this with a birdie or losses this with a bogey. Big Willy has pars for dayssss

impossible to get up and down

Laid Curran for £50 on Friday at 130 then the rest yesterday at 21-28. McGirt yesterday as well.

Come to think it I had 65k against Curran on Wednesday having backed him 900+. Thought his odds would drop but they hardly moved so laid at 800+

Thought he'd missed that

I name this winner William Girty McGirtface.

Backed him a few times this year (Riviera T20 and at Harbour Town T9 - a home game for him and his favourite vacation spot) so he's always been on my radar...The victory was the first in McGirt’s PGA Tour career, in his 165th start. As for the marquee players, No. 1 Jason Day tied for 27th, six strokes back; No. 2 Jordan Spieth tied for 57th, 12 off the lead, and No. 3 Rory McIlroy tied for fourth, two back, though he was never a factor.

The last time 36yo William McGirt won a golf tournament was back in 2007 when he prevailed in a playoff at the Cabarras Classic Championship on the eGolf Tour.
McGirt has made steady progress since leaving the mini-tours behind for good in 2011 after tying for second at the PGA TOUR qualifying tournament. He'd had close calls in 2007 and '08, lipping out putts that would have put him in the all-important final stage, before earning Web.com Tour status for 2010 when he was on the verge of hanging it up.

"There were several times, and especially after the way I missed q-school in 2007 and 2008, ... you look back at it and you're kind of like, I don't know if it's ever going to happen." He once had a four-month stretch on the road when he saw his wife for eight days. But it did, and McGirt has earned more than $4.9 million in a little over five years since. He's comfortable talking about his roots, though, and he's not one to take the opportunities on TOUR for granted. The Carolinian (McGirt resides in Boiling Springs) took a two-stroke lead into the final round of the Northern Trust Open in 2014.
McGirt has never led after 54 holes of a PGA TOUR event, although he does have two runner-up finishes in the last few years, both at the RBC Canadian Open. Finished T6 with 69, 67, 65 & 73. Add a third career runner-up finish at this season's weather-delayed Sanderson Farms Championship, inching ever closer to the winner's circle.

Entering the final round of the 2012 Canadian Open, McGirt was in prime position to win the tournament...And yes, he was admittedly a little nervous. After all, this is a guy who claims he'd "run out of fingers and toes" if he had to count all of the different developmental mini-tours he'd played before reaching the highest level. This was his sophomore season on the PGA Tour and his best chance so far and, well, he didn't want to screw it up. Trying to remain in the moment, he decided he wouldn't look at a leaderboard throughout the day. He didn't want to know his position, didn't want to be thinking about it too much. The end result? He posted a respectable 1-under 69, but still lost by a stroke.

Eight days later, around 8 a.m. on Monday morning of the PGA Championship, McGirt was on the practice green when Tiger Woods' caddie, Joe LaCava, approached to congratulate McGirt on the strong finish. "I only have one regret," McGirt told him. "I never looked at a leaderboard all day."
Stroking putts nearby, Woods instantly spun around and confronted his fellow pro. Until this moment, the two of them had barely crossed paths, let alone shared a conversation. That was about to change. "What?" Woods exclaimed as he walked toward McGirt until they were nose to nose. "OK, spill the beans."

McGirt proceeded to explain that it was the first time he'd been in that position, and he didn't want to get caught up with checking where he sat amongst the contenders. After listening to that explanation, Woods looked him in the eye and responded, "You think Kobe [Bryant] doesn't look at the scoreboard with a minute to go in the game?" He then offered a few more choice words, followed by three that McGirt will never forget: "You're an idiot."
The second-year PGA Tour pro immediately understood his mistake. "OK, we agree," he told him. "We're on the same page." Ever since that day, McGirt has been a leaderboard-watcher.

Ranked 102nd in the world (up to 44th this morning), WILLY MCGIRT stats suggest he should be even higher but the results haven’t caught up UNTIL NOW ! There, too, was his caddie, Brandon Antus, who has worked with him ever since his rookie season. He knows the stories; he has witnessed the journey. Not far from where that final putt fell into the hole, McGirt embraced Antus in a bear hug and whispered a few celebratory words. "We did it," he told him. "We did it. We did it. We did it. Finally."
This one was worth $1.53 million, plus the spoils - berths in Majors and a 3-year exemption on the PGA Tour. #WinnersFlyWheelsUp ©
