Taylor Montgomery was alone in third at 13 under after a closing 64. Homa closed with a 4-under 66 for a total of 16-under 272 and now heads to Charlotte, North Carolina, as a captain’s pick for the Presidents Cup with three wins in the past 12 months. “On 18 it decided to go home quickly, so that was quite a nice bonus.” “Today I hit it well, kept it around the hole where it needed to be, I just couldn’t get the ball to go to its home,” he said. Homa had struggled with his putter over the weekend but didn’t need it at the end. “It’s a shame with how it finished but I’m pretty sure those are the only short putts we’ve missed all week. Willett laid up 65 yards short of the 18th green, then stuffed his approach close enough that closing out the tournament should have been routine. Luckily we’ve been in a good position all week and then unfortunate things happen when you feel like you need them most,” said Willett, who is winless in the United States since he took advantage of Jordan Spieth’s collapse to win the 2016 Masters. Moments later, he was a five-time winner on the PGA Tour.


Homa high-fived his caddie when his chip shot hit the flagstick and dropped. “Just kind of one of those weekends you just had to hang around.” I still don’t really know what happened,” said Homa, a college star at California who now has three wins in the Golden State.
