In the USA, Scottie Scheffler gave a show in the PGA Tour tournament, however won by the Argentine Emiliano Grillo (67 65 72 68) who, with a birdie on the second hole of the play-off, overtook the American Adam Schenk (66 67 67 72). In Fort Worth, Texas, on the Colonial Country Club course (par 70), both finished the 72 regulation holes with a total of 272 (-8) strokes, but what made the difference in the play-off was a feat by Grillo who , after almost eight years since the last time (Frys.com Open in October 2015), he returned to success on the PGA Tour. The exploit earned the 30-year-old from Resistencia $1,556,000 for a total prize pool of $8,700 .000 and also allowed him to climb from 80th to 42nd position in the world rankings.

Scheffler, world number 1, on the 8th hole (par 3 of 189 yards, 172.8 metres) and with a 7 iron scored a "hole in one" emulating Harris English who, in the second round, always distinguished himself with an ace on that hole.

Top 10 and 6th place with 275 (-5) for Sam Burns, defending champion.

And now the PGA Tour is preparing to return as a protagonist from 1 to 4 June in Dublin (Ohio) with The Memorial Tournament, a high tournament that will boast a prize pool of 20,000,000 dollars.
