In this thrilling PGA TOUR showdown, Michael Thorj Bjornson showcases his prowess with a wedge after a stellar tee shot on the par 4 third hole. Meanwhile, Vince Whley seizes the opportunity on the par 5 fourth with a fantastic shot that sets him up for success. The pressure mounts as 54-hole leader Joel Damon struggles with a disappointing bogey on the fifth, shaking up the leaderboard. Amidst the intense competition, Alejandro Toasty impresses with a beautiful putt for par on the challenging 11th hole, showcasing nerves of steel.
As the tournament unfolds, Garrick Higgo emerges as a formidable contender, climbing up the ranks to become a co-leader at an impressive 16 under. However, the stakes are high, with Joel Damon facing a series of setbacks, including a costly three-putt on the 13th green that puts his lead in jeopardy.

Damon's hopes are dashed with back-to-back bogeys, ultimately costing him the lead and paving the way for Higgo to clinch his second PGA Tour victory with a gritty even par 72. The emotional rollercoaster of triumph and defeat culminates in a dramatic conclusion, solidifying Higgo's place among golf's elite as he celebrates a hard-earned win alongside his supportive wife, Shandre.
