Okay, so, I got really into the Wyndham Championship back in 2020. It was a big deal, you know? I remember it like it was yesterday. I’d been following golf for a while, and this tournament was the one I was looking forward to the most.
I started by checking out who was playing. I was keeping an eye on all the big names. Sungjae Im was the guy everyone was betting on, I guess he was the favorite at 16-1. Then there were Billy Horschel, Shane Lowry, and Si Woo Kim, all tied at 25-1. I was trying to figure out who I should put my money on, it was tough.
I made sure to watch all the coverage I could. I was glued to the TV, watching all the highlights. ESPN had this real-time scoring thing, which was super cool. I could see everyone’s scorecards, it was like being there.
The tournament itself was a rollercoaster. There was this guy, Aaron Rai, who ended up taking home $1.4 million and 500 FedExCup points. Pretty wild, right? It was a Sunday finish, which made it even more exciting because they played the second, third, and final rounds all in one day. Talk about a long day of golf!
- The Leaderboard: I was constantly checking the leaderboard. Jim Herman ended up winning, shooting 21 under par. He took home $1,152,000. Billy Horschel came in second, 20 under par, and got $697,600. Then there were Kevin Kisner and Webb Simpson, both tied for third at 18 under par, each getting $312,400.
- Tee Times and Schedule: I was trying to plan my day around the tee times. It was a bit tricky since it was all crammed into one day, but I managed to catch most of the action.
- Tournament Details: I read up on all the details about the tournament itself. The history, the course, all that stuff. It’s always interesting to learn more about these events.
Here’s what I really dug into:
I spent a lot of time on different websites, just trying to get all the info I could. * had this final leaderboard page, which was really helpful. And of course, I was all over the PGA TOUR’s website, checking out their tournament overview and past results.
In the end, I didn’t win any bets, but it was still a blast to follow. Seeing Jim Herman come out on top was pretty cool. I remember thinking, “Man, that guy played some amazing golf.” It was definitely a tournament to remember, and I’ve been hooked on the Wyndham Championship ever since.
It’s funny how these things stick with you. I can still picture myself sitting there, watching every shot, and getting all caught up in the drama. Golf might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but for me, it’s the best. And that 2020 Wyndham Championship was one for the books.
