While not a PGA Tour signature event, a few big names, including Jordan Spieth and Shane Lowry were in the field.

Thanks to back-to-back 64s on Saturday and Sunday, Joe Highsmith earned his first career PGA Tour win. Highsmith finished at 19-under, which was good for a two-shot win.

The 24-year-old became the first player to make the cut on the number and win since Brandt Snedeker at Torrey Pines in 2016.

It had a $9.2 million purse.
