The Valspar Championship took some time to decide who would be the winner of the event. On the difficult course of the Innisbrook Resort in Florida, it was necessary to play -10 to claim the victory. Slightly behind the leaders after three laps, Taylor Moore moved up the leaderboard quietly thanks to a card of 67 (-4). He signs five birdies for a bogey.
Thanks to this card, Taylor Moore is one shot ahead of Adam Schenk leader for much of the tournament. Adam Schenk scores a fatal bogey on the 18th, which misses the play-off. After an unfortunate drive at the foot of a tree, Schenk plays a left-handed refocusing shot! He misses the by synonymous of play-off and ends at -9.
