Maverick McNealy and Jim Knous were comeneurs heading into the final round of the Fortinet Championship, and both golfers were chasing their first PGA Tour titles.
It is rather Max Homa, author of a last card of 65 (seven strokes under par) who climbed to the top to win Sunday the first tournament of the 2021 season with a cumulative under-19.
Homa thus won his third trophy on the best circuit in the world.
McNealy finished one stroke behind his compatriot, but it took an eagle on a long putt on the 72nd and final hole to finish alone for second, under-18.
One of the highlights of Homa’s round came on the 12th hole, a par 4. Having hit his tee shot in the long grass, he was 95 yards from the goal, and his second shot went off. is found directly in the cup for an eagle, which at this time brought him closer to a blow to the head.
The PGA Tour is taking a week-long hiatus to make room for the Ryder Cup to be played at the Whistling Straights course next weekend.
The next tournament on the calendar is the Sanderson Farms Championship, also in California, from September 30 to October 3.
