Bud Cauley (66), Billy Horschel (67) and Ryo Hisatsune (68) tied for fourth. Horschel delivered the most incredible shot at Innisbrook when his ball settled up against a tree on the par-5 fifth hole. He inverted a 9-iron and swung left-handed, hitting it 117 yards onto the green and converting the birdie putt from just outside 30 feet.

It’s an ineffably stressful exercise for any touring professional to thrash his way out of the golf wilderness. Always harder on the psyche than any of the senses. And always a longer journey than anticipated.

Three shots behind with five holes to play, he rallied with three birdies to pass Justin Thomas and close with a 4-under 67 for a one-shot victory.
