PGA TOUR/CJ Cup

The PGA TOUR was in South Carolina for the CJ Cup, an event that had been played in the United States for the past three years due to pandemic related schedule changes. This years edition was held at Richland SC, not too far from a number of great Troon locales (more on that later). Before we dive into complete Team Troon results, congrats is in order to the CJ Cup winner and Troon investor/supporter in Rory McIlroy who captured his 23rd PGA TOUR victory and reclaimed #1 after shooting a four round total of -17. Congrats Rory!

Team Troon was well represented in the event with five members in the field. Gary Woodland would start off hot and claim the opening round share of the lead following a 6 under 65. In the end low Team Troon member for the CJ Cup would be Matt Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick would finish T13 after a pair of 68’s over the weekend. Matt Kuchar would break into the top 30 with a -5 four round total, followed by Alex Noren at T37, Justin Thomas at T40 and Gary Woodland T67. Solid playing Team Troon and congrats again to Rory!
