The last Asian Tour event, the International Series Macau, John Catlin shot a third round 59 to take a two shot lead in to the final round.
This weekend he shot a third round 62 to take an eight (!) shot lead into Sunday. He capped it off with a 66 and won by seven strokes over Wade Ormsby. He’s been in fantastic form and has a healthy lead in the International Series Order of Merit, which of course awards a full spot on LIV Golf for the 2025 season.
Congrats to John, really impressive!
What’s next on the Asian Tour?
No event this week on the Asian Tour, but next week they head to Korea for the Maekyung Open Golf Championship, at Namseoul Country Club!
Scottie is showing no signs of slowing down as this past weekend he cruised to a comfortable three shot lead over Sahith Theegala to win the RBC Heritage for his 10th PGA Tour victory.
He’s in incredible form. 4 wins and a T2 in his last 5 starts, including his win at The Masters. As we said early in the year, if he can sort out the putter, no one’s going to be beating him. In his last five events he’s gained strokes on the field in putting. Very impressive stuff from Scottie.
Congratulations to Scottie, going to be interesting to see how long this dominance lasts!
The PGA Tour also hosted the Corales Puntacana Championship this weekend, an opposite field event.
Billy Horschel took the win over Wesley Brian by posting an impressive final round of 63. Billy has found some better form in the past couple of months, after seeing his DataGolf rank fall down to 161 last year.
Congratulations to Billy!
