Justin Thomas Wins Bridgestone Invitational, Georgia Hall Wins Women’s
British Open, Zverev Scores Second Consecutive Victory at Citi Open and
Kuznetsova Wins in a Comeback
Justin Thomas won his first World Golf Championship
game at the 2018 Bridgestone Invitational on Sunday, finishing with 15 under
par. Runner-up Kyle Stanley trailed four with an 11 under par finish. Thomas
told CBS Sports what winning with his grandparents present meant to him:
"I'm glad
I finally played well around here, just in time for it to leave. I got a little
choked up when I saw grandma and grandpa over there. It's really cool. They
don't get to come out very often anymore. This is my first PGA Tour win with
them here, so it's pretty cool."
English golfer
Georgia Hall won the Women’s British Open with 17 under par, beating Pornanong
Phatlum from Thailand by two shots. Hall told BBC Sport that she
would like to inspire young girls to take up golf:
"I
couldn't believe so many young girls and boys were watching me, wanting a
picture or an autograph," she said. "Hopefully I can encourage a lot
of young girls out there to take up the game. I want to be a good role model
for young girls in Britain."
Alexander
Zverev won his second consecutive Citi Open title on Sunday, beating Alex de
Minaur 6-2, 6-4 in the final. Zverev is the first to win back-to-back titles at
the Citi Open since Juan Martin del Potro in 2008 and 2009. The Associated Press quotes the
tournament’s co-founder and chairman Donald Dell on Zverev:
“Sascha Zverev
is the future of pro tennis,” said tournament co-founder and chairman Donald
Dell, using Zverev’s nickname. “He’s chasing Federer and Nadal for the No. 1
spot.”
Russian
Svetlana Kuznetsova won the women’s singles title, defeating Croatian Donna
Vekic in a comeback. Kuznetsova lost the opening set 6-4 to Vekic, but scored a
tie-break victory in the second set before winning 6-2 in the final.
