Nico Echavarria Wins Zozo Championship

Nico Echavarria claimed victory at the Zozo Championship, securing his second PGA Tour title with a final score of 20-under par after a closing round of 67. He edged out Americans Max Greyserman, who shot a commendable 65, and Justin Thomas, who finished with a 66, by just one stroke. Echavarria maintained composure under pressure, birdieing the final two holes after briefly losing his lead to Greyserman. This win marks Echavarria's first title since the Puerto Rico Open in March 2023 and earns him significant FedExCup points and exemptions for future major tournaments. Despite strong performances, Thomas and Greyserman were unable to break their respective title droughts, with Thomas last winning in 2022. The tournament, held at the Narashino Country Club in Japan, highlighted Echavarria's ascent in professional golf as he celebrated a remarkable underdog victory.
