Taylor Moore (30, USA, photo), who is in her second year on the PGA Tour, has been close to an ‘unknown player’.

He recorded a final total of 10 under par, 274 strokes, and lifted the championship trophy with a thrilling come-from-behind victory over Adam Schenk (31, USA) by one stroke.
With the victory, Moore secured the right to participate in the major tournaments, the Masters and the PGA Championship, as well as a two-year seed. Moore, who received the prize money of 1.458 million dollars (approximately 1.9 billion won), rose to 9th in the FedEx Cup rankings and ranked 49th in the world, entering the top 50 for the first time. After the match, Moore said, “It doesn’t feel real. Winning is a wonderful and amazing thing,” he said, expressing his overwhelming feelings, saying, “The efforts of not only me but everyone who helped me were rewarded.” 메이저사이트

Moore finished the 18th hole (par 4) with a par save, and Schenk lost one stroke on the last hole, confirming the championship.
