Rickie Fowler fired a course-record 11-under 61 on Sunday at Albany to capture the Hero World Challenge by four strokes over Charley Hoffman.
Fowler’s record-setting round included 11 birdies, highlighted by seven straight to start, en route to a four-day score of 18 under. The bogey-free 61 was also a tournament record and personal best for the 28-year old star.
The win was Fowler’s 8th worldwide title, and earned the California native $1,00,000 and 48 Official World Golf Ranking points.
Runner-up Hoffman took home a check for $400,000 and 28.8 OWGR points.
