Munoz began the final round with a one-shot lead over Carlos Ortiz, and made 8 pars and his lone birdie on the par-5 3rd to head into the back 9 tied with Ben An. Meanwhile, Im made the turn in 4-under 32, and after a bogey on the 13th, rattled off three consecutive birdies to take the lead at 18-under, which would be good enough for the clubhouse lead. Sebastian birdied the 11th, but dropped a shot at the 15th to fall one stroke behind with three holes to go. Needing a birdie on 18, he poured in an 18-footer to force the playoff. When Im failed to make par, Sebastian Munozcould celebrates his first career PGA Tour victory, and take the early lead in the FedEx Cup Standings.
