Ending a five-year PGA Tour victory drought, Russell Henley fired a one-under par 70 to capture the Mayakoba Championship by four strokes for his fourth career PGA title.
The 33-year-old American, who shared the lead for the first three rounds at last year’s US Open, matched the tournament record by finishing 72 holes on 23-under 261 at El Camaleon in Mexico.
“To come down 18 with a four-shot lead was just really cool,” Henley said.
American Brian Harman fired a 66 to grab second on 265 while Masters champion Scottie Scheffler settled for a share of third on 266 despite a closing 62, just missing the solo second-place minimum he needed to recapture world number one.
