Stenson, 41, made four birdies and two bogeys on his first seven holes, then began a quiet streak of pars for the next five holes. The late charge began at the par-4 13th, where he rolled in a six-footer for birdie and rode the momentum all the way into the clubhouse. After making par at the 14th, Stenson made three straight birdies, including a 27-foot dagger at the par-4 17th that allowed him to par the 18th for a 22-under 258 total, earning him his first win of the season.
Schniederjans, 24, did his best to make plenty of noise in the group ahead of Stenson. The PGA Tour rookie made a late charge, nearly holing out for eagle at the par-5 15th, rolling in a 40-footer for birdie at the 17th and almost holing out for eagle again from 163 yards away at the par-4 18th. He matched Stenson's closing 64, but finished one shot back at 21-under 259. The solo second is the best finish of his career, and fifth inside the top 10.
