Sepp Straka blew a chance at history and still walked away with the trophy.
On 59 watch following an 11-under start through 14 holes, the 30-year-old from Austria made double bogey on the 18th hole to sign for a 9-under 63 and take the clubhouse lead at 21 under. Straka was two shots clear of Brendon Todd and Alex Smalley, the final group of the day that was just midway through its back nine.
The 21-under mark was good enough for Straka to earn his second career PGA Tour win following his maiden victory at last year’s Honda Classic. Straka began his season with a runner-up finish at the Sanderson Farms Championship and across 23 events has four top 10s and six top 25s.
Todd (68) and Smalley (67) finished T-2 at 19 under with Ludvig Aberg (63) and Adam Schenk (68) T-4 at 18 under.
