INZAI CITY, Japan (AP) - Nico Echavarria claimed the Zozo Championship for his second PGA Tour victory, shooting 3-under 67 on Sunday to win by a shot over Max Greyserman and Justin Thomas.
Echavarria, a Colombian who played at the University of Arkansas, birdied two of the final three holes - including the 18th - to add to the title he won last year at the Puerto Rico Open.
Thomas, who played in the final threesome with Greyserman and Echavarria, closed with a 66. He is trying to win his first PGA title in 2 1/2 years. His last was the 2022 PGA Championship, which gave him 15 PGA titles.
Greyserman, trying for his first tour win, took a one-shot lead with a 30-foot birdie on the 14th - his only birdie on the back nine. He closed with a 65 at the Narashino Country Club and has been runner-up in three of his last five PGA events.
