Champion Golfer of the Year

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS


Champion Golfer of the Year

 

The Americans teed off

Two strokes apart and yearning

The South African led the field

No one was more deserving

 

Off they went on a wild journey

That would consume four hours’ time

In the end only one would claim:

The Claret Jug is mine!

 

Golfers rose and golfers fell

As on the battle raged

They did their countries honor

On the game’s greatest stage

 

Everyone who plays the game

Felt the heart fill with pride

For the one who grabbed victory

With fortune at his side

 

The young man with nerves of steel

Played his round without fear

So tip your hat and raise a glass

To the champion golfer of the year

 

[Collin Morikawa wins The Open.]
