Gotterup wins PGA Tour opener in Hawaii. Elvira takes Dubai Invitational

Chris Gotterup won the Sony Open with a 16-under 264 score, securing his third PGA Tour victory in three consecutive seasons, amid a collapse by 54-hole leader Davis Riley.

  • On Sunday, Chris Gotterup shot a 6-under 64 to win the Sony Open by two strokes at Waialae Country Club, finishing 16-under 264 as the season's first champion.
  • After trailing by two, Gotterup seized the moment when 54-hole leader Davis Riley faltered Sunday, surging with three big birdies on the back nine at Waialae Country Club.
  • During the closing stretch, Chris Gotterup holed 20- and 25-foot putts on the 13th hole at Waialae Country Club, hit every fairway on the back nine Sunday, and said it's "transformative" to be in a good frame of mind.
  • Gotterup's ranking moved to No.17, marking a clear advance, while runner-up Ryan Gerard, birdied last two holes for 65, is poised to crack the top 40 in world rankings.
  • In Dubai, Nacho Elvira, ranked 190th, won the Dubai Invitational by one shot at 10-under 274 after Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry stumbled on 18.
