Los Cabos, Mexico — Austin Eckroat secured the World Wide Technology Championship on Sunday, marking his second title this year on the PGA Tour. He delivered an impressive performance with a 9-under 63, edging out competitors Justin Lower and Carson Young by a single stroke.

Playing before Lower and Young, Eckroat birdied the par-4 17th hole, establishing a three-shot lead over Young. He concluded his round with a bogey on the par-5 18th at the renowned El Cardonal course, designed by Tiger Woods. This victory helped Eckroat secure a position in the top 50 of the FedExCup Fall standings.

Reflecting on his win, Eckroat stated, “I think it kind of validates the season that I had, just a great way to cap off and end the year. It was really special to do it at an event where the title sponsor, I’m an ambassador of their company. A cool week.”

As Young aimed for an eagle to force a playoff but settled for a birdie on the 18th, he finished with a score of 65. Young commented, “I hit a bunch of good iron shots, especially on the back nine. I shot 7 under, so I played good; I can’t be too mad about it.” Lower also capped his day with an eagle for a final score of 65. “I played well,” Lower said. “I mentioned yesterday that I needed to shoot somewhere between 5 and 9 again just to have a chance. I shot 7 and came up one short.”

Eckroat’s total score for the tournament was an impressive 24-under 264. At just 25 years old, the former Oklahoma State player previously took home the Cognizant Classic title in March, which was his first win on the PGA Tour.

In his final round on Sunday, Eckroat exhibited remarkable consistency, not making a par until the seventh hole after starting with five birdies followed by a bogey. He added another birdie at No. 8 and managed to birdie four of the first five holes on the back nine. “That’s probably some of the best golf I’ve ever played, just from the start putts were going in,” he shared. “I don’t know, it was automatic out there today, I guess, is how you could call it. It’s crazy I only won by one shooting 9-under par today from one back. Obviously, everybody was playing well; it was a good battle.”

Max Greyserman finished in fourth place with a score of 22 under after shooting 65, while Joe Highsmith wrapped up his tournament with a 68, putting him in fifth at 19 under.
