Nico Echavarria Wins Zozo Championship in Japan

Nico Echavarría made history as the first Colombian to win the Zozo Championship in Japan, securing his second PGA Tour title with a final score of 20-under par. He birdied two of the last three holes and finished with an eagle on the 18th, breaking the previous tournament record set by Tiger Woods. Echavarría's victory not only comes with a $1.5 million prize but also guarantees his participation in prestigious events like the Augusta Masters in 2025. He credits his compatriot Camilo Villegas for providing inspiration and support throughout the competition. Justin Thomas and Max Greyserman trailed closely behind, with Thomas finishing in a strong position as he prepares for a family milestone. This win places Echavarría among an elite group of Colombian golfers and enhances his standing in the FedEx Cup rankings.
