Reigning champion since 2022, Tom Kim, saw his title handed over to the American, who won with a final score of a 4-under 67 after four astonishing rounds of elite sport.

He was looking to become the first player to win three straight PGA Tour events since Steve Stricker won the John Deere Classic from 2009-11. Alas, Poston continued on after the South Korean was sent packing and took home not just the title, but a sweet wad of cash.
