On March 15, Beijing time, the weather-affected "Fifth Grand Slam" Players Championship finally came to an end on the TPC Sawtooth Grass Pitch. Black Cameron Smith wildly grabbed 10 birds in the final round (equalizing the record for the most bird catches in the event), swallowed 4 bogeys, and scored 66 (-6) in a single round, 69-71-69-66 in four rounds, a total of -13, and a narrow margin of 1 to win the 5th PGA Tour title!

His fedex cup points are currently only second behind Scotty Schaeffler, who has won two crowns this season. Cameron Smith is also the second win of the season, having previously won the Sentinel Championship in the opening year.

In extremely windy and rainy weather, golf really depends on luck. This time even this group of top professional players could not hold back, and there were rare mistakes on the court of various PGA Tour. World Number One Joan Ram had +5 in the final round and a score of 9 (+5) on the 4th hole... In the end, Ram was tied for 55th place with an overall score of +2.
While the "Nobody Can Defend" Players Tournament "Curse" continued, Justin Thomas four rounds 72-69-72-72, the total score of -3 and Wheat in 33rd place.
