– American Patrick Cantlay staged a back nine charge to speed past world number two Jon Rahm and number three Justin Thomas to claim a one shot win at the Zozo Championship in Thousand Oaks, California, on Sunday. Cantlay, who began the day three back of overnight leader Thomas, carded a final round seven-under 67 at the Sherwood Country Club to top the leaderboard and collect his third career PGA Tour title with a winning total of 23-under 265. The 28-year-old’s round included a career-high nine birdies, four of those coming over a five hole stretch from the 11th on the back nine. Cantlay finished the week with just two bogeys, both of those coming during the final round, including one at the 16th that cut his advantage to a single stroke and opened the door for Rahm to force a playoff if he could birdie the final hole. Rahm had to settle for a three-under 69 and finish in a tie for second with Thomas, who birdied the 18th for a four-under 68. Tiger Woods, back in action for the first time since missing the cut at the US Open, closed out a frustrating week with a final round two-over 74.
