After 233 tries, Kokrak claims first-ever PGA Tour win at CJ Cup

The Hindu  

American Jason Kokrak fired off eight birdies in a flawless final round for his first-ever PGA Tour victory at the CJ Cup in Las Vegas, Nevada on Sunday, clinching his maiden title on the 233rd try. “With the greens being firm, fast and quite a bit of break around these holes, if you don't have the right speed, you're not going to make a lot of putts,” said Kokrak, who had four consecutive birdies on the front nine and credited his caddie with helping pick “great reads.” READ| “Game plan was simple, to hit fairways,” said Kokrak. “I made some nice putts on the front nine and a couple par saves here and there, but I couldn't be happier.” The tournament, typically part of the PGA Tour's Asian swing, was moved to the Las Vegas venue due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and featured a crowded field of top talent warming up for the Masters next month, including four-time PGA Tour winner Xander Schauffele, who finished second. “Hopefully I learn next time and I can create an opportunity.” Elsewhere in the field, 29-year-old Briton Tyrrell Hatton and three-time PGA Tour winner Russell Henley finished tied at third.
