圧倒的存在感を示したジミーオーカー、昨年に続き連覇、その安定感にただ、脱帽あるのみ、彼の趣味は、天体観測である。天文学者にふさわしいような獅子奮迅の戦上手と言っておきたい。ワイアラエの9打差つけての優勝は、誰も予想できなかった。

記者は、今年は、パトリックリードとこのジミーが、大活躍し大ブレークすると何度も書いた。理由は、初めてライダーカップの舞台に立ったこの二人が、負け戦のアメリカにあって、大活躍、敵陣にわれこそはと、善戦に善戦、アメリカの意地を示した時に、今年の活躍がすでに約束されていたのだ。

 

リードは、松山英樹はプレーオフに臨めなかったが、ジミーと戦い、プレーオフの第一ホールをバーデイで退けた。英樹を相手にして、慎重になりすぎたジミーは、伏兵、パトリックが２１アンダーまで出させるとは、おもいも、よらなかったのであろう。英樹を撃破すれば、優勝と踏んでいたはずだ。その悔しさもあって、次のトーナメント、ハワイアンオープンに心に秘するものがあった。それが、爆発した結果の優勝であるのｊは間違いない。

 

ジミー、おめでとう。」

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

 

英樹、初戦で疲労か。ヒュンデイで、最終ホール、２メートル弱を外して、バーデイがとれず、プレーオフに臨戦できなかったショックか。それから、１メートルが、狂ったか。ソニーでは、パットに苦しんだ。英樹に言わしめた。｛まだまだ、力がないと。｝反省の弁である。

つまり、英樹でも、後遺症が、少し、手先に残るのだ。マスターズまでに、息を整えよ。調整を間違えるな。Ｊｉｍｍｙがいい例だろう。メジャーを狙える地位にいるのだ。

明らかに、やさしく見えるフィールドは、プレヤーには、芝生がいかにハザードであるか、を思い知らせる。怖いほど、まともに受けてくれない芝生のデフェンスだ。英樹が、苦手にしているてバミューダ芝は、慣れるまで、苦労する。テフトンとの違いは、明らかに、海水の浸水を受けているか、どうかで決まる。

塩水を含み育つ芝は、表面から巻き付いて、」クラブの方向を狂わせる。

グリーンもまた、よく研究しないと、スピードが読めない。似ている高麗とも、違う肌触りである。慣れるまで、青木のような熟練が目標になる。

ああｋ

さて、日本のプロは、どうした？

それでも、プロか。　と多くの義憤の質問が舞い込む。世界のアマチュア以下の実力にあきれる、というものだ。日本のテレビでは、アマチュアの場合は、こう打っているので間違いなどと、評している。アマチュアではなく、ゴルフのうまくない人は、と、言い換えてくれるよう、要請をする。

下手イクオール、アマチュアというのは、正しくない。一寸前まで、英樹も遼もアマチュアだったのを忘れないで。

 

 

全国消費者国民運動連絡協議会　は、こぞって、オリンピックの成功を期待します。国民が、一丸となって、日本の良さを世界へ発信する絶好の機会です。

つまり、戦後７０年、日本の存在と変化を諸外国に知ってもらうチャンスであり、、平和主義の旗印を掲げたわれわれの一人一人の汗と涙がいかに反映されるか、もっとも大事な時間と空間なのです。

人を思いやる心を、忘れないで、未来につないでいきましょう。成功すれば、それはあなたが成功させたのです。

Latin America Amateur championship 2015 世界各地から、メジャーへ進出

Dominguez, of Chile, Captures First Latin America Amateur
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina – Matias Dominguez, of Chile, holed a short bogey
putt on the 72nd hole to hold off Alejandro Tosti, of Argentina, by one stroke and
capture the inaugural Latin America Amateur Championship on Sunday with an
11-under-par total of 277 on the 7,255-yard, par-72 Pilar Golf course.
The final round was suspended for 4 hours by rain and wet conditions with the
final two groupings playing the seventh hole, resuming at 3:45 p.m. Dominguez
earns an exemption into the 2015 Masters Tournament in April, as well as
exemptions into the Amateur Championship (conducted by The R&A) and the
U.S. Amateur Championship (conducted by the United States Golf Association).
He also earns spots in final qualifying for The Open 2015 and the 2015 U.S.
Open.
“It was going well until probably the 13th hole,” said Dominguez, a senior at
Texas Tech University. “The crowd made it really hard for me to focus. It’s almost
impossible to keep calm in that position, but I tried to do my best. On that short
putt [on No. 18], I couldn’t even feel anything.”
Dominguez, 22, the third-round leader by one stroke over Tosti, carded a finalround
71 as the championship came down to a near match-play situation
between the two competitors. Dominguez led by three strokes after nine holes,
but the lead was whittled to one when Tosti birdied the 303-yard, par-4 15th after
driving the green and Dominguez bogeyed the next hole, the par-4 16th.
The 178-yard, par-3 17th proved pivotal. Tosti hit his tee shot to 20 feet, inside
Dominguez, who was on the fringe. But Dominguez putted up to tap-in range,
and Tosti knocked his birdie try 4 feet past the hole, then missed his par putt to
restore Dominguez’s margin to two strokes with one hole to play.
“I never thought about the prize, because the tournament finishes on the 18th
hole,” said an emotional Tosti after a runner-up finish that included 16 greens in
regulation. “My putter didn’t work well today. I had 16 chances to make birdie and
I only made three.”
Dominguez played conservatively on the par-4 18th, which features water on the
right and in front of the green, and tapped in for bogey from 2 feet to earn the
victory after Tosti made him earn it by saving his own par from 5 feet. Tosti, 18, who trains at the Argentine Golf Association’s performance center at Pilar Golf, will enroll as a freshman at the University of Florida later this month.
Tosti said, “I am proud and I am upset. But I have a lot of tournaments to play and golf is a long career.”
Dominguez, who is No. 421 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking™ (WAGR), has already played Augusta National. He and his Red Raider teammates visited there last January, a trip arranged by some Texas Tech alumni. Dominguez was joined in the LAAC field this week by two teammates, including freshman Guillermo Pereira, also of Chile, who is the top-rated player here, at No. 6 in the WAGR.
Pereira made a strong run on Sunday, reaching 9 under par for the championship and 6 under for the day with a birdie on the par-5 13th hole. “I felt like I needed to get to 10 under,” said Pereira, 19, but he slipped back with three bogeys in his final five holes to end at 6-under 282, in a tie for fifth place. Texas Tech senior Esteban Restrepo, of Colombia, tied for 15th place at 1-over 289.
Alvaro Ortiz, of Mexico, reached 10 under on his way to the low round of the day, a 5-under 67. Ortiz, 19, a freshman at the University of Arkansas and the brother of PGA Tour player Carlos Ortiz, made six birdies, but missed a 2½-footer to bogey the par-4 18th and finish at 9-under 279.
“I stepped on the tee and I felt like I was going to make birdie,” said Ortiz, who is No. 256 in the WAGR. “But I mis-hit my iron and left my first putt short from 30 feet. I know I was a little bit nervous. Maybe it was not the time for me, but I gave myself a chance to at least dream about the Masters.”
Andre Tourinho, of Brazil, the second-round leader, trailed Dominguez by five strokes starting the day but also made a charge, getting to 10 under, two strokes back, with a birdie on No. 13. However, he missed a 6-foot birdie putt after ripping his drive through the green on the short 15th, then bunkered his approach shot to bogey No. 16 and scuttle his chances.
Tourinho, 24, a graduate of the University of Tulsa, closed with a 4-under 68 to join Ortiz in a tie for third place at 9-under. Along with Joaquin Bonjour and Santiago Bauni, both of Argentina, Tourinho plans to attempt to qualify for the PGA Tour Latinoamerica in two weeks.
Dominguez is the second player from Chile to play in the Masters, joining Enrique Orellana, who missed the cut in 1964.
“Right now I don’t have any expectations,” said Dominguez of the Masters, adding that his top choice of a playing partner there would be three-time champion Phil Mickelson. “It’s my last semester at Texas Tech and I want to help my team and enjoy that time at Augusta with my family and friends.”
