American Patrick Cantlay gave South Korean Tom Kim victory with a triple bogey on the 18th hole of the Shriners Children’s Open in Las Vegas on Sunday.
The two men were tied before tackling the par 4 of the final pennant. Cantlay thus dealt a card of 69(-2) while Kim played 66(-5).
The 20-year-old won by three goals to claim his second PGA Tour title of his career. He did not commit a bogey during his working week.
Cantlay shares second place with his compatriot Matthew NeSmith.

Maple Leaf representatives Taylor Pendrith and Adam Svensson hit the ball 69(-2) and 73(+2) times, respectively. In that order, he shares places 44 and 69 with other golfers.
