Patrick Cantlay matched Jon Rahm's birdie on the final hole of the Tour Championship to win the PGA Tour's title Sunday at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.
The birdie gave Cantlay a round of 1-under-par 69 to cap a riveting finishing stretch between the two golfers.
Under the format used, Cantlay began the tournament at 10 under, putting him four shots clear of Rahm. He needed every one of those strokes to claim the $15 million top prize. Rahm, the U.S. Open champion from Spain and top-ranked golfer in the world, had 16 pars in the last round. He also birdied the fifth hole.
