The Honda Classic | Recap

PALM BEACH GARDENS - Sepp Straka came from five strokes back to win his first PGA Tour title while becoming the first player from Austria to win on Tour.

Runner-up Shane Lowry, hindered by sudden rainfall at the end of his round, went bogey-free in the final round for best finish on Tour since win at 2019 Open Championship.

First-year PGA Tour member Kurt Kitayama, the first round leader, finished in the Top-10 for the first time in his 26th career Tour start.

Local resident, Daniel Berger, became the first player since Dustin Johnson at the 2017 WGC-HSBC Champions (six strokes) to lead by five shots or more after 54 holes and fail to win.
