Author of a card of 72 (N) in the fourth round, Pendrith will have to wait before getting his hands on a first PGA title. During this last day, he managed three birdies, but he committed as many bogeys.

The representative of the maple leaf thus showed the same cumulative as the Americans Patrick Cantlay (66) and Cameron Young (68), at 267 (-21). The trio, however, needed five shots more than Tony Finau (67) to cover the field four times.

Finau therefore wins a second consecutive tournament since he also lifted the 3M Omnium trophy last Sunday.

A little further behind, the South Korean Joohyung Kim (63) was the best golfer of the day. In addition to an eagle in the 10th pennant, he accumulated seven birdies, so that he climbed 17 rungs to point to seventh place in the final classification.

Also in action, Canadian Adam Svensson (72) also played par and finished the tournament at 276 (-12), in 24th position. Adam Hadwin (67) jumped 23 places to 37th position, at 278 (-10).

The only other Canadian to avoid the cut, Roger Sloan (71) finished 49th, at 280 (-8). Nick Taylor, Michael Gligic and Mackenzie Hughes did not survive the first two rounds.

PGA golfers return to action next weekend at the Wyndham Championship.
