Nowhere was he more “on point” than at the 179-metre, par-3 16th where his tee shot ended up 12 feet from the hole, leading to a key birdie. That set him up for the finale – a 250-metre blast from the fairway on the par-5 finishing hole with his 15-degree PXG 0311 Black Ops fairway wood that allowed him to two-putt from nearly 40 feet for the win.

Echavarria was eighth in strokes gained/putting and first in putts per GIR with his Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K 7 putter, but with a new handle.

“I [used] a new grip this week, that was the difference. I consider myself a good putter, I just needed something different. These greens are rolling so good that it wasn’t very hard to make a lot of putts… I had my coach last week in Vegas and he gave me a couple drills that we could work on in putting because I was hitting the ball fine, I was just not making a lot of putts out there. I still felt like I needed something to change, and I got here on Tuesday morning and I changed the grip [from a Garsen Ultimate to a SuperStroke Zenergy] and it paid off.”

We would say so.
