<\/p>\nXander Schauffele\u00a0was victorious at the Baycurrent Classic in Japan to secure his first win in over a year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Shauffele finished at the top of the leaderboard on 19 under par after scoring 64 on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Max Greyserman was one shot behind him in second place. Greyserman was also the runner-up at this event a year ago as he chases his first PGA Tour title.<\/p>\n
With his first win in a year, Schauffele adds to a long resume which includes two major championships and a gold medal in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, as well as all his PGA Tour titles. This was his 10th PGA Tour title in his 200th start.<\/p>\n
For Schauffele, victory at this tournament is particularly sentimental as his mother was raised in Japan, making it a dream way to end his drought.<\/p>\n

“It’s special,” Schauffele said. “I tried to stay present and not think too far ahead, but it’s really special.<\/p>\n
“It feels good,” he added. “It’s nice to know I still got it. It was a rough year but my team dragged me through it.”<\/p>\n
Second-placed Greyserman closed with a 65 and held or shared the lead through the first three rounds. American Michael Thorbjornsen finished with a 64 and was three strokes behind the winner.<\/p>\n
Soft conditions and still winds led to low scoring. American Matt McCarty shot an 11-under 60 – he still finished nine strokes back.<\/p>\n
McCarty had a chance at a 58 but hit into the trees on his final hole and settled for a bogey and a 60. Jim Furyk holds the PGA Tour record with a 58 in the final round of the Travelers Championship in 2016.<\/p>\n
