Theegala finishes seventh as Kizzire wins Procore Championship

Napa [US], September 16 (ANI): Sahith Theegala was unable to find that extra zip on the final day and shot even par 72 that sufficed only for Tied-seventh place at the Procore Championship, the Fall season's opening event.
The Indian-American Theegala, the winner last year, closed with a 72 to tie for fifth at 12-under 276.
He shot 69-66-69-72 was 12-under 276 and eight shots behind the winner, Patton Kizzire.
Kizzire meanwhile returned to the winner's circle after a long gap shooting a scrambling 2-under 70 for a tournament-record, five-stroke victory. Kizzire had gone 176 events without a victory after winning events in Mexico and Hawaii in a two-month span in late 2017 and early 2018, a release said.
The 38-year-old earned a PGA TOUR card for the next two years after entering the event 132nd in the fight to earn a card with a top-125 finish in the standings. He also gets spots in the Masters and PGA Championship and The Sentry at Kapalua.
Kizzire finished at 20-under 268. On Sunday, he repeatedly misfired off the tee for a second consecutive day, but stayed steady with his approach shots and had three birdies, an eagle and three bogeys.
David Lipsky was second after a 71. Patrick Fishburn (71) was third at 14-under. Mackenzie Hughes (72), Ben Silverman (71) and Greyson Sigg (72) were another stroke back. (ANI)
