Xander Schauffele Wins Baycurrent Classic With Closing 64 in Japan

His 10th PGA Tour title doubles as a late-season reset after a rib injury curtailed his year.

Overview

  • Schauffele finished at 19-under 265 with a bogey-free back nine and a clutch birdie on 17 to edge Max Greyserman by one.
  • Played at Yokohama Country Club for the first time, the event saw low scoring, including Matt McCarty’s 60 and Takumi Kanaya’s 62, with Michael Thorbjornsen three back.
  • The victory came with a $1.314 million first prize from an $8 million purse and ended a 14-month PGA Tour winless stretch.
  • Family ties heightened the moment, as the new father won in a country where his grandparents live and his 81-year-old grandmother walked the course.
  • The result caps a rebound stretch after a nagging rib injury, following a 3-1 Ryder Cup showing that included a 4-and-3 singles win over Jon Rahm and extending his cuts-made streak to 72.
