DeChambeau fired rounds of 69, 67, 66 and 71 to finish at 15 under par, in a three way tie for first with Byeong Yun An and Kyle Stanley. DeChambeau sank a 12 foot birdie putt on the second hole of a sudden death playoff to capture his second PGA TOUR victory in as many seasons.
He ranked T-1st in Total Strokes Gained (12.463), 7th in Birdies with 21, and 4th in Driving Distance with a 306.3 yard average for the tournament.
"I can't even describe it right now," said DeChambeau. "Just to be able to win [Jack Nicklaus'] event is such an honor. He's the greatest to play...to be able to do that, I am speechless honestly."
This victory earned him a paycheck of $1.6 million dollars and 500 FedEx Cup Points. He's currently ranked 4th on the FedEx Cup Points List and 22nd in the Official World Golf Rankings. This is Bryson's fifth Top 5 Finish and sixth Top 10 Finish in just 16 starts this season.
