Taylor Moore can now call himself a PGA Tour champion after winning the Valspar Championship at 10 under par after shooting a 67 at Innisbrook Resort in Palm Harbor, Florida.
After birdieing four of his last 10 holes, Moore waited in the clubhouse and watched as Adam Schenk and Jordan Spieth walked to the 18th hole to see if a playoff was needed to determine a champion.
A bogey on 16 for Spieth he moved it to 9 under par, which meant a birdie was needed to at least force that tiebreaker. But for Schenk, he just needed a pair to force him through. A birdie wins the tournament.

However, once he made contact with his ball on the 18th hole, he knew he was in trouble. The shot went wide, aiming to the left through the crowd before stopping by a tree.
As Schenk sized up the situation, he pulled out a club and had to hit it left-handed into the fairway, and it just rolled into the rough. Needing a good approach shot for a solid par putt, Schenk hit 41 feet from the cup.

Schenk took his time evaluating the putt and approached the ball knowing he had to hit it for the tiebreaker. As she rolled, one could tell that Schenk really did as she picked up speed.
The ball hit the cup but went wide, and when Spieth bogeyed at 18, Moore knew he was a champion.
