Bridgeman hangs on at Riviera for first PGA Tour title. Thitikul wins LPGA event at home in Thailand
Bridgeman secured his first PGA Tour victory at Riviera with a clutch final round, earning $4 million and becoming the tournament's 100th champion, officials said.
- On Sunday at Riviera Country Club, Jacob Bridgeman sank a 3-foot par putt on the 18th to win by one shot, marking his first PGA Tour title.
- With an aggressive start, Bridgeman began the final round with a six-shot lead and birdied the first and third to signal he would be difficult to catch among the 50 players in the field.
- Late in the round, challengers Kurt Kitayama mounted a late run and rolled in a long birdie, while Rory McIlroy holed a 30-foot birdie at 18 to add pressure on Bridgeman.
- The win secured Bridgeman's first PGA Tour title and earned him $4 million, with host Tiger Woods waiting to congratulate him atop the 18th green steps.
- Bridgeman's victory is notable because he won Riviera in his tournament debut, the first to do so since Adam Scott in 2005, two months and three days after getting married.
