Collin Morikawa played four rounds of 64-73-66-63 to win the tournament. He registered a six-stroke victory over Eric Cole and Beau Hossler.

Speaking about his victory, Morikawa said the following:
“It feels so good. I knew I was going to get here at some point but it’s like getting your first win or major. People start asking questions and asking why. I had to really look back and ask myself what’s wrong? What’s the why? What’s the reason behind finishing second or fifth versus a win? This win means the world.”
