The Sentry Tournament of Champions: Final Round
Kapalua, Maui, Hawaii – Scoring conditions are off the charts at The Plantation Course, here at Kapalua. The reason? Low winds and great players, great even after the PGA TOUR holiday break.
At 26-under, Cameron Smith and Jon Rahm turned-in the second-lowest opening 54-hole score to par in PGA Tour history (Patrick Reed/27-under/2014 The American Express). Smith and Rahm set the Sentry Tournament of Champions 54-hole record at 26-under 193 (194/Ernie Els/2003).
Meanwhile, Rahm and two-time Sentry Tournament of Champions winner Justin Thomas each set the tournament record with matching 12-under (61s).
The third-round scoring average (67.711) was the lowest in a single round since the event moved to The Plantation Course in 1999.
A purse of $8,200,000 is on the line today with $1,476,000 and 500 FedEx Cup points going to the winner.
