It was Morikawa's seventh PGA Tour victory, but it was his first since winning the Zozo Championship in October 2023. He has seen his world ranking drop from No. 2 in 2022 to No. 19 this week.

And he needed a birdie on the 18th hole to finish with a 5-under par 67 for a four-day total of 22 under par. That birdie putt inabled Morikawa to win by one shot over Min Woo Le and Sepp Straka, who tied for second at 21-under.

Scottie Scheffler made a late charge and had an eagle on the final hole. He finished the day at 9-under and 20-under for the tournament.

Morikawa had a two-stroke lead after he birdied the 16th hole, but after he bogeyed the 17th, he found himself tied with Lee when he stepped on the 18th tee. Straka then birdied the 18th just ahead of Morikawa, so three were tied for the lead before Morikawa hit his third shot within inches of the hole, and tapped in for the victory.
