The Belgian golfer achieved this remarkable win by birdieing the last four holes, showcasing a strong final round of 6-under par 65. This victory not only made him the first Belgian to win on the tour but also propelled him from 20th to 4th on the PGA Tour money list, accumulating over $2.6 million in earnings this season. Daniel Berger and Michael Kim tied for second place, both finishing at 17-under, while world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler struggled to maintain his early momentum.
