Patrick Reed won his second WGC Championship (first in Mexico), by a single stroke ahead of Bryson DeChambeau. DeChambeau was leading heading into the final stages, but scored an aggregate one-over-par on the final 4 holes, whereas Reed birdied the 15th, 16th, and 17th. During the final round five players had a share of the lead, with the other main challengers being Justin Thomas, Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Erik van Rooyen.[1][2]
This was the final time this event was held in Mexico; the following year's edition was scheduled to return, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was moved to Florida in January 2021 (and played in late February).[3]
