Rapid Recap And Payouts: Sentry Tournament Of Champions
- Updated: January 7, 2019
Xander Schauffele kicked off 2019 by capturing the PGA Tour’s Sentry Tournament of Champions by one shot over Gary Woodland at the picturesque Plantation Course at Kapalua in Maui, Hawaii.
Rapid Recap
What happened: Xander Schauffele started the day 5 back of leader Gary Woodland and was unconscious on Sunday during the final round
What it means: The win is the 24-year-old’s fourth on the PGA Tour and he jumps to No. 6 in the World Golf Ranking. He now has as many PGA Tour wins as Rickie Fowler. Not sure if that’s saying much, but it’s true.
Golf is hard: Gary Woodland posted a 5-under 68 and got lapped by a streaking Xander. He’s now failed to convert a 54-hole lead for the 7th time. And honestly, he did everything right except win.
Crazy stat of the day: According to Golf Channel’s Justin Ray, it was the lowest final round score to par by a winner on PGA Tour since Stuart Appleby’s closing 59 at Greenbrier in 2010.
