⛳Valspar Championship: Taylor Moore grabs first career win after Adam Schenk, Jordan Spieth stumble down stretch 🏌️‍♂️

But Schenk, who is in the midst of a marathon 10-week run, fell apart.

Schenk sent his drive left into the crowd and up against a tree at the Tampa, Florida, area course, and that led to a bogey — which handed the win to Taylor Moore.

Moore posted a 4-under 67 in a nearly perfect Sunday, which sent him to the clubhouse with a share of the lead well before Schenk and Jordan Spieth’s final group finished. Moore made four birdies in his final 10 holes of the day, and saved par at the last to get to 10-under on the week and eventually take the win.

The victory marked the first of Moore’s career.

Spieth also had a shot to win as he was tied for the lead with three holes to play. But bogeys on 16 and 18 sunk his chances.

Schenk entered the final hole as co-leader, but it fell apart with his errant drive on 18 landed against a tree left of the fairway, which forced him to punch out while swinging left-handed.

His shot actually crossed through the fairway and landed in the rough on the other side.

“If I win, great. If I don’t win, that’s fine too,” he said calmly on Saturday night. “I mean, obviously I want to be a PGA Tour winner. I played out here for six years, not that I’ve done everything except win, but I’ve done, you know, plenty, played a lot of years. Winning would be everything and awesome.”

He nearly pulled it off.

Schenk carded a 1-under 70 on Sunday and finished alone in second at 9-under on the week.

“It stinks,” Schenk said. “I hit a really bad drive on the last hole. I toed it. Wish I could have lightly hit somebody and stayed where I had a chance to get to the green, but it did not, and I didn’t deserve it. I had a chance with the wedge shot that came up short, and then I had a chance with the putt, which surprisingly actually hit the pin and came close.

“But it stinks to get so close, but great week all in all, so I can’t really complain.”
