Have you woken up yet? No? Well, I don’t blame you. Your boss may not be as sympathetic though. So c’mon, get to work, you’re late. If you ploughed through the final day of the Genesis Open then perhaps the plodding performance of eventual winner JB Holmes put you in the kind of deep sleep you’d get with a general anaesthesia.

The slow play debate again reared its head over a weekend of world wide action. Here’s a re-cap of this, that and the other on the tours …

HOLMES WINS GENESIS OPEN … AT HIS OWN PACE

The Herald:

Rory McIlroy came close, but the Genesis Open crown ultimately belonged to JB Holmes on a dramatic final day in California.

The Northern Irishman handled inclement conditions and rose into second with Justin Thomas late on Sunday afternoon, but he slipped back into fourth by the close of play.

American Holmes rallied from a from a four-shot deficit as the weather-blighted tournament drew to a close.

He picked up two shots and dropped one on the way out before carding a birdie and a bogey as he headed back to the club house.

The one-under 70 saw him at 14 under for the tournament, one shot ahead of Thomas who had led for a time, and sealed his fifth PGA win.

McIlroy carded a 69 to finish on 11 under overall, while further down the leaderboard Tiger Woods tied 15th after carding 72 (six under overall) and Englishmen Paul Casey and Tommy Fleetwood finished tied 25 and tied 28th respectively (five and four under)

Holmes, who made seven pars on his final seven holes, described his win as "huge" but faced criticism from commentators and on social media for slow play.

"You play in 25-mile-an-hour gusty winds and see how fast you play," he said afterwards. "You can't just get up there and whack it when it's blowing that hard."

McIlroy eagled his opening hole to generate some early momentum but three dropped shots on the back nine proved costly.

The Northern Irishman finished in a tie for fifth at both the Farmers Insurance Open on his last PGA Tour start and the Sentry Tournament of Champions in early January.

PONDEROUS HOLMES DRAWS CRITICISM

Brooks Koepka suggested recently that "nobody has the balls" to deal with the slow play issue in golf. JB Holmes' creeping win brought the issue back into focus ... again. And nothing was done by officials ... again. As usual, social media was the place to be for fist shaking ...

FOX ON THE RUN IN WORLD SUPER 6

The Herald:

New Zealand's Ryan Fox made the most of an early reprieve to claim his first European Tour title with victory in the ISPS Handa World Super 6 in Perth.

Fox defeated Spain's Adrian Otaegui 3&2 in the final at Lake Karrinyup after previous narrow victories over Jazz Janewattananond, Kristoffer Reitan and Paul Dunne.

As one of the top eight players after 54 holes of strokeplay Fox received a bye into the second round of match play, where Thailand's Janewattananond missed from three feet to win the match on the second knockout hole.

Fox took full advantage and won the contest on the next, before edging past Reitan in the quarter-finals and Dunne in the semi-finals, both matches going down to the final hole.

"I've been close a couple of times and it's certainly nice to get one over the line today in a place I hold pretty special. I've played a lot of golf here and always enjoyed myself," Fox, who lost a play-off to Russell Knox in the Irish Open last year, said in an interview broadcast on Sky Sports.

"Adrian didn't quite play to his best this afternoon but I'm quite happy to take advantage of that. I played great this afternoon and felt probably under the most control in all the matches so it was nice to finish in style."

AUSSIE SUCCESS ADDS TO KORDA FAMILY SILVER

The Herald:

America's Nelly Korda added another chapter to her family's incredible sporting pedigree in Australia with victory in the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open.

Korda carded a final round of 67 at The Grange Golf Club to finish 17 under par, two shots clear of Korea's Jin Young Ko who surged through the field with a closing 64, the lowest score of the week.

Korda's sister Jessica won the same tournament seven years ago, while their father Petr won the Australian Open tennis title in 1998 and her brother Sebastian won the boys' singles title in Melbourne last year.

England's Jodi Ewart Shadoff, who shared the lead after a first round of 65, finished in a tie for eighth after a closing 71.

Korda was born six months after her father won the Australian Open in Melbourne, the Czech's only Grand Slam title.

At the start of the week she said she felt "so left out" when her family discussed their Australian titles and when she completed her own victory she celebrated with her father's trademark scissor kick.

"I'm finally a part of the club," Korda said."I mean this win was really special for my family."I think there's something in the air here, we love coming down under. "I just got off the phone with my dad and he said, 'Well, congratulations, you're part of the Korda Slam now'."

MAGNIFICENT SEVEN FOR JIMENEZ AMONG GOLDEN OLDIES

The Herald:

Miguel Angel Jimenez won the Chubb Classic for his seventh success on the Champions Tour circuit, beating Bernhard Langer and Olin Browne on the first hole of a play-off in Florida.

Jimenez closed with a five-under 66 to match Langer and Browne at 13-under before knocking in a par-putt of five-feet in the sudden-death shoot-out to land the title.

Jimenez has won in each of his six seasons among the over-50 and won the Senior Open at St Andrews last summer. Scots veterans, Colin Montgomerie and Sandy Lyle shared sixth behind Jimenez.

CRUDEN BAY MAN ADDS TO SCOTTISH SUCCESS

The Herald:

It’s not been a bad fortnight for Scottish golf across the board. David Law’s win in the Vic Open on the European Tour a week ago took pride of place while Euan Walker’s African Amateur Championship win last Friday was a notable triumph in the unpaid game. Michael Stewart was a winner on the thid-tier Mediterranean Tour recently while Cruden Bay’s Kevin Duncan (pictured) claimed a four shot win – and a maiden pro win - in the Pro Golf Tour’s Open Palmeraie in Casablanca. Duncan finished with a 19-under total to pick up a cheque for almost £4,500 “After last season, I was thinking about quitting professional golf,” admitted Duncan. “This makes my first win even more special than it already is.”
