The win is the fifth of DeChambeau’s career, and his fourth in the past five months, a remarkable stretch that began with a win in a playoff at the Memorial Tournament in June.
Harold Varner III got off to an inauspicious start last year on the PGA Tour, missing seven of his first 17 cuts and finishing no higher than T-23 during that span.
The win is only the Spaniard’s third (the Singapore Masters on the Asian Tour is the other) since he donned the green jacket at Augusta National 18 months ago.
It carries the most prizemoney of any tour event outside the Majors and World Golf Championships, even bigger than the purses in the FedEx Cup playoff tournaments.
