[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] Chez Reavie (USA) collected his third championship trophy.

On the 18th (Korean time), at the Tahoma Mountain Golf Course (par 71) in Truckee, California, USA, the final day of the PGA Tour Barracuda Championship (total prize money $3.7 million), he added 6 points with 4 birdies and 2 bogeys to win by 1 point (43 points). This is his third PGA Tour victory in three years, following the RBC Canadian Open in July 2008 and the Travelers Championship in June 2019, with a winner's prize of $666,000 (880 million KRW).

This is an 'alternative tournament' arranged for players who could not participate in the 150th Open Championship (total prize money $14 million) held during the same period. The tournament uses a 'modified Stableford system' awarding 8 points for an albatross, 5 points for an eagle, 2 points for a birdie, -1 point for a bogey, and -3 points for double bogey or worse, with rankings determined by total points. Alex Noren (Sweden) scored an impressive 14 points to rise to 2nd place (42 points). From Korea, No Seung-yeol (31) tied for 55th place (16 points), and Kang Sung-hoon (35) finished 70th (7 points).
