Palm Beach Gardens, Fl. – Two days after he was terrified to make a high HiSmith cut, he won the cognizant classic in the lowest week at PGA National and is going to the masters.
HiSmith had a rally from a four -shot ts on Sunday and three straight birdies around the curve and A 20 -foot Birdy Patti on Par -3 17thHe gave him an additional 6-underweight 64 to win his first PGA tour title by two shots.
“The last thing was to win in my mind,” Hasmith said. “It is incredible to get out on top. I probably played the best round of my life. “
Hasmith got some help from Jack Kenapp, who opened the tournament with 59 and kept it together in the water and two more exit.
Kenapp, trying to be the first wire-to-wire winner in the history of the tournament, was a shot lead when half of the golf ball was submerged when the golf ball was submerged on the 11th. He tried to blast and he went back down the OPE and back to the water. He tried again, this time holding the ball in the rough.
Unfortunately, “none of them really was killed,” Kenappe said.
He walked with triple bogie and never caught. Kenappa did not make the rest of the bard, closed with 72 and was in sixth place with Michael Kim ()), who played with him in the final group.
Jacob Bridges closed with 64 64 and JJ Spau was 66 to share in second place.
“I was trying to make as many birds as I could,” said Brijman. “I knew I had to do something extraordinary today to catch leaders, and I caught them, but it’s just on the ninth hole.”
His runner-up finish was sufficient to enter the Arnold Palmer invitation next week.
Hasmith, 24 -year -old Lefty with a bucket hat and a wide smile, became the first player to cut and won the number after Brand Snadekar at Tory Pines in 2016.
Since many players in the mix were going to the final round, it was arranged for a wild finish, and at least the five players were part of the lead at one stage.
Hasmith played a flawless round in the final hour and in an unforgettable week in 14-under-128. His big run began at number 9 at 3 feet. He made two-patties for the bird on cross-5 10th and turned into an 18-foot birdie at No. 11.
He added a 15 -foot bardy stretch at the 13th to control, and then sealed it with his bardie stretch on the 17th.
Hasmith had all the smiles coming out of the 18th green with his caddy LAC Lakwa IV, which was on the bag for masters champions Fred couples in 1992 and Tiger Woods in 2019 and who now works for Patrick Cantle.
Hasmith is a winner for the first time in several weeks Brian Campbell wins Mexico Open. He finished at 19-underweight 265 and took plenty of permissions. With the Masters and PGA championships, Hyasmith is at the remaining five signature events, which begin next week at two hills.
Jordan Spith had four birds in the five-hole belt to go to the fringe of the dispute, to play six holes in 1 over to be in just 68 in just 68, after returning from wrist surgery last August and his second top 10.
Florida State Junior Luke Clenton, who made a cut by PGA Tour University Program, got a PGA tour card, shot 69 and tied on the 18th.
Hyasmith scored the lowest 72-hole after the Tournament PGA National and Rider Cup was shifted to National in 2007. The course was monitored, making the rough less frightening and softening of Fairways.
“I think Oversid was there and the wind was low, but it was still a stressful golf course, and this was some of the best golf that I had seen would have happened on the golf course in a very time.” “It’s Crazy Good Golf there.”
