The FedExCup champion, who posted rounds of 65-66-66-67 over the four days at East Lake Golf Club, led the field in Greens in Regulation (75%) – including Sunday’s approach to the 236-yard par-3 9th, which left him just 5 feet, 2 inches for a birdie that propelled him to play his final 10 holes in 5 under par. He gained more than four strokes on the field on approach shots (+4.005/3rd).
The World No. 1 – who leads the PGA TOUR in Strokes Gained: Tee to Green, SG: Approach, Greens in Regulation and is seventh in Scrambling – topped a leaderboard that featured six Titleist golf ball players in the top eight positions:
