C.T. Pan has had a few opportunities to pick up his first victory in PGA Tour events in the last few years, most notably at the 2017 Farmers Insurance Open and the 2018 Wyndham Championship. On both occasions, he couldn’t quite finish the round, specifically at the Wyndham, where he made a double-bogey at the 72nd hole to lose by three.
Pan didn’t let a late slip-up deter him on Sunday at Harbour Town, playing the final three holes in one-under and nearly making one more birdie at the 18th, where his second-to-last putt hit the lip and didn’t drop. His four-under 67 was still enough to win by one over Matt Kuchar. Also in the mix was Patrick Cantlay, who needed to birdie the final hole to force a playoff but instead made bogey.
Pan’s win comes with a lot of perks, the best of all being an invite to next year’s Masters Tournament, where he’ll be making his debut.
Finishing in solo second was Kuchar, who posted a final-round 67. He’s now finished T-7 or better six times this season, including two wins and a pair of runner-ups.
Scott Piercy and Shane Lowry tied for third with Cantlay, while J.T. Poston, Seamus Power and Kevin Streelman tied for sixth. Dustin Johnson, who held the 54-hole lead, shot a disastrous final-round 77 that dropped him into a tie for 28th. After carding an even-par 36 on the front nine, Johnson went bogey–bogey–bogey–double-bogey–double-bogey beginning at the 11th hole, falling from 10-under to three-under in just five holes.
