J.T. Poston managed to hang on and win the Shriners Children’s Open by a stroke on Sunday in Las Vegas.
He carded a 4-under 67 during his final round, but his playing partner, Doug Ghim, threatened to win down the stretch with a 65 of his own. Ghim began the final round three shots back of Poston, and Poston had a four-shot lead on the back nine at one point. But Poston missed two short attempts on the 16th and 17th holes—less than a combined 10 feet—while Ghim made a couple of birdies on the 16th and 18th, creating a nerve-wracking finish. Yet, Poston silenced doubts by draining a four-footer for par on the 18th hole to win by one. He will take home $1,216,000 from the $7 million purse offered at TPC Summerlin.
