Defending champion Ryan Moore has done it again!
Moore finished on -17 (total 4 day score of 271) at the KLGCC to win by 3 strokes to become the first player to defend a title on the PGA TOUR since Tiger Woods at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in 2012 and 2013.
Tied second are Sergio Garcia, Kevin Na and would you believe it, Gary Woodland who lost to Ryan Moore last year at the same venue after a rare monday playoff. He did though, play a good 4th round (carding -5 for the day)
Down the home stretch, Ryan made an amazing approach shot on the 14th but stumbled to a bogey on hole 16.
On the 17th though, Ryan recovered brilliantly when he conjured another superb approach shot on the 17th hole.
On the 17th though, Ryan recovered brilliantly when he conjured another superb approach shot on the 17th hole.
With a 3 stroke cushion and with Kevin Na finding trouble off the 17th tee, victory was Ryan's to lose and he eventually closed out the par 5, 18th with a nice par. Unfortunate for Kevin Na, who started the day right out of the blocks. Just wasn't his day but he gave a good fight. Sergio too provided a great display of his skill to try to keep in touch.
Ryan is a great guy and always spends time with the fans. A deserving champion who played some wonderfully golf over the 4 days.
Didn't manage to take a picture with the champ but I guess this will have to do. Thanks Chris for the pic and it was a pleasure to meet you over the two days.
Congratulations to Ryan once Moore!
