Pendrith started the day leading the tournament by a shot

Taylor Pendrith of Canada reacts with his caddie Mitchell Theoret after putting in to win on the 18th green during the final round of THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch on May 5 in McKinney, Texas.Taylor Pendrith tried his best to ignore Ben Kohles ’ final-hole meltdown, focusing on the eagle putt that the Canadian thought he might have to make even to force a playoff as he walked toward the 18th green. Kohles overtook Pendrith with birdies on Nos.

Playing just north of his birthplace of Dallas, Kohles shot 66 to finish a stroke back. The 34-year-old who plays out of North Carolina is winless in 68 starts. Aaron Rai and first-round leader Matt Wallace of England were at 20 under along with the South Korean pair of S.H. Kim and Byeong Hun An. Rai and Kim shot 64, An 65 and Wallace 68.

The victory qualified Pendrith for the PGA Championship in two weeks and next year’s Masters. He’s also in the next three $20-million signature events, starting next week with the Wells Fargo championship.With Wells Fargo and the PGA coming in the next two weeks, just three of the top 30 in the world ranking were in the field.

The start of the final round was pushed back 2 1/2 hours because of overnight rain, and pairings turned into threesomes going off both tees with the players allowed to lift, clean and place shots in the fairway.
