Wyndham Clark fired a sizzling 60 to overcome two shot deficit and claim the CJ Cup Bryan Nelson by three at the TPC Craig Ranch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He finished ahead of overnight leader Kim Si-woo with world number one Scottie Scheffler finishing third a further two strokes behind. Both Si-woo and Scheffler fired in identical final rounds of 60.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clark’s 30-under 254 total marks his career low 72-hole total and one stroke shy of the tournament record of 253 set by Scheffler last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In winning his fourth Tour title, Clark also matched Si-woo\u2019s 60 from the second round when the 30-year-old South Korean was in position to shoot 59 but bogeyed the final hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since last victory at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am two years ago, Clark had recorded two runner-up finishes at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and PLAYERS Championship, both also in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While Clark became the first PGA Tour player to win twice with a closing round of 60, Si-woo ended up as a runner-up for the second time this season, having also losing out at the Farmers Insurance Open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He had made 33 birdies for the week, five more than the second-most 28 made by Clark, and two birdies shy of the 35 made by Hideki Matsuyama at the 2025 Sentry, the most made in a 72-hole event on the PGA TOUR on record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An expected charge from Scheffler (3rd<\/sup>\/-25) did not materialise despite a strong round. He had made only one bogey for the week, the fewest of any player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Teenager Blades Brown, who finished T14 with a 14-under total, earned 55 non-member points to surpass the threshold to become eligible for Special Temporary Membership of the Tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Joey Savoie made two clutch birdies in the final round \u2013 on the 72nd hole to force a playoff, and again on the third extra hole \u2013 to defeat Jack Lundin and win the Kia Open de Ecuador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Playing one group ahead of Savoie, Lundin carded a final-round 64 and was the clubhouse leader at 21-under. Savoie was 4-under for the day and led by one with three holes to play, but a bogey on the par-3 16th ended a 38-hole bogey-free streak and dropped him into a tie with Lundin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One hole later, Savoie three-putted for bogey on the par-5 17th, and suddenly, he trailed by one. He rebounded on the par-4 closing hole by making a 10-foot birdie putt, and three holes later, he sealed his first PGA TOUR Americas victory with another 10-foot birdie putt on the par-4 10th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt’s never easy to win the first one, it’s never easy to win any golf tournament at this level,\u201d said Savoie, who moves to No. 2 on the PGA Tour Americas Points List. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI think there’s a big sigh of relief, and also just being grateful that it was my week this week. It’s not often that happens.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prior to Sunday, Savoie\u2019s last victory came exactly eight years ago to the day when he won the 2018 Tennessee State Open as an amateur. Now in his seventh season as a professional, Savoie\u2019s win Sunday came in his 36th career start on PGA TOUR Americas and 74th start as a pro in PGA TOUR-sanctioned competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAfter last year’s (Kia Open), I went on a three-week vacation in Ecuador and I went all the way to south Cuenca thinking about should I keep going or should I do something else,\u201d Savoie said. \u201cAt the end of it I decided, look, if my health gets better, I keep going, and it got better. It’s just funny that my first PGA TOUR (Americas) win is where I made the decision to keep playing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Doc Redman defeated Hunter Eichhorn with an eagle on the first hole of the sudden-death playoff to capture his second Korn Ferry Tour victory at the Visit Knoxville Open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both players had finished on 25-under 259 after the fourth round. Redman carded a 66 final round while Eichorn sizzled with a 61 to move atop the leaderboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bryce Lewis finished tied third on 23-under with John Marshall Butler and Cooper Dossey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wyndham Clark fired a sizzling 60 to overcome two shot deficit and claim the CJ Cup Bryan Nelson<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13116,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[58],"class_list":["post-13115","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsbeat","tag-golf"],"aioseo_notices":[],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Wyndham-Clark-.jpg",1080,678,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Wyndham-Clark--150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Wyndham-Clark--300x188.jpg",300,188,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Wyndham-Clark--768x482.jpg",640,402,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Wyndham-Clark--1024x643.jpg",640,402,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Wyndham-Clark-.jpg",1080,678,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Wyndham-Clark-.jpg",1080,678,false],"morenews-large":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Wyndham-Clark--825x575.jpg",825,575,true],"morenews-medium":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Wyndham-Clark--590x410.jpg",590,410,true]},"author_info":{"info":["admin"]},"category_info":"Newsbeat<\/a>","tag_info":"Newsbeat","comment_count":"0","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Wyndham-Clark-.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13115","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13115"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13115\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13117,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13115\/revisions\/13117"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13116"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13115"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13115"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Savoie edges Lundin in playoff<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
