KOKRAK CONQUERS SHADOW CREEK

FOR DROUGHT-BREAKING WIN

PGA Tour CJ 컵 @섀도우 크릭에서 우승
가뭄에 단비를 내린 제이슨 코크락

AS VEGAS – The talk around the
golf course before the final round
Lof THE CJ CUP @ SHADOW CREEK
was the winner was going to come from the
penultimate group. A snap poll of media
and volunteers nearly all said as such. They
were right. Sort of.
Because when pressed who would win
from said group, not one person stumped
for Jason Kokrak. Instead it was Xander
Schauffele or Jason Day who were garnering
the love. A few people dissented and said
Russell Henley would keep hold of his
overnight three-shot lead and win from the
final group.
Perhaps we didn’t ask the right people
because it was Kokrak who reigned supreme
after perhaps the putting performance
of his career helped him to a final round
8-under 64 that lifted him to 20-under and
ultimately a two-shot win.
