Iced – Patrick Cantlay sticks approach to set up birdie at TOUR Championship
Patrick Cantlay edged out Jon Rahm by one shot to win the TOUR Championship and claim the FedExCup. It's his second win in a row and fourth win in an incredible 2020-2021 season for Cantlay. Cantlay, known this week as "Patty Ice" (a homage to NFL player Matty Ice for his seemingly nerveless demeanour) pocketed a cool $15 000 000 beating John Rahm but one shot. He came into the Tour Championship with a 2 shot advantage and never let the lead go. Both players had chances for eagle on the last. Rahm's birdie chip from about 18 feet, just missed to square the leader board. Cantlay needed 2 putts to win the biggest prize in golf, and he made sure with a 3-inch tap.
