Collin Morikawa fended off a charging group including World No 1 Scottie Scheffler to clinch the Pebble Beach Pro-Am. He posted a 5-under 67 in his final round to get to 22-under, which gave him a one-shot win over the field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Morikawa birdied the 18th to claim his win, the seventh win of his Tour career, and his first since 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 29-year-old moves from No. 19 to No. 5 in the Official World Golf Ranking with the victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His 22-under matches the lowest score relative to par by a winner in tournament history since Brandt Snedeker in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Morikawa had entered the final round two strokes back of 54-hole leader Akshay Bhatia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He made the turn at 2-under on the day, and then joined the pack at 20-under after a birdie at the 11th. But it was a 30-footer at the par-4 15th that finally sent Morikawa into the solo lead for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lee Min Woo carded a final round of 65 for a 267 total and one stroke behind Morikawa togetehr with Sepp Straka. It was his third runner-up finish on the Tour, having also finsihed second at the Rocket Classic and Cognizant Classic two years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for Straka, a four-time PGA Tour winner, it was his fourth runner-up finish and first since the 2023 Open Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scheffler, finished a further stroke behind, with a final round 9-under 63, highlighted by three eagles (Nos. 2, 6, 18), becoming the first player to record three eagles in a round at the course since 1983. It was a massive run for the top-ranked golfer on the day after he started eight shots back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Had it not been for a trio of bogeys, two of which came on the back side, Scheffler may have run away with the event completely. Instead he finished tied fourth with Tommy Fleetwood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was, however, the most consecutive top-five finishes on the Tour since 1983 for Scheffler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Defending champion Rory McIlroy finihed tied-14th on 17-under despite a 8-under 64 in the final round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
