PGA Results: 2015 Valspar Championship

PGA TOUR Valspar Championship Dates: March 12-15 Venue: Innisbrook Resort & Golf Club (Copperhead Course), Palm Harbor, Fla. Innisbrook Resort & Golf Club was a great venue for this week's PGA Tour stop, providing some challenging golf and a few holes which have hints of Augusta National, home of the Masters Tournament coming up in a few weeks. In our preview last week we posted a picture of Adam Scott.  Hopefully that was not the Frogger equivalent of the SI cover jinx, as Scott missed the cut.  He had the current longest cuts-made streak on the PGA Tour before this past weekend with 45 consecutive appearances on the weekend. The course difficulty was part of the story, and the only three players who finished double digits under par at -10 entered an intense playoff.  Sean O'Hair, Patrick Reed, and 21-year-old Jordan Spieth had an epic playoff.   On the 3rd playoff hole Spieth canned a long birdie putt to capture the victory and perhaps open the floodgates of what many are predicting to be a historic golf career.  Time will tell, but at 21 Spieth is off to as good a start as any 21-year-old in the Tour's history.  With his 2nd victory on Tour, Spieth joins Tiger Woods, Robert Gamez, and Sergio Garcia as the only others with two wins at this age. Spieth will undoubtedly be one of the favorites heading into Masters week, though it often takes players a few years to adjust to Masters-style conditions. EUROPEAN TOUR Tshwane Open Dates: March 12-15 Venue: Pretoria Country Club, Waterkloof, South Africa Home course advantage and course knowledge can be a big help. Just ask the latest European Tour winner George Coetzee. Coetzee, following a final round 65, wrapped up his second European Tour victory by one shot over Jacques Blaauw. Coetzee's other victory came on the same course which he learned how to golf. He played junior golf at Pretoria Country Club and had captured his first junior competition on the same course at age 10. Course knowledge indeed. Blaauw, the second place finisher, made it interesting in the final round as he torched the course with a round of 61, though it was one shot shy of enough.
