Kurt Kitayama held off the challenge of Rory McIlroy to claim the Arnold Palmer Invitational by a single shot. McIlroy had a chance to take it to extra holes but missed his 10-foot birdie effort on the 18th. American Kitayama birdied the 17th to reach nine under and a par on the last was good enough to claim his maiden PGA Tour win.
Xander Schauffele is the 2022 Genesis Scottish Open Champion after shooting a level-par 70 on a thrilling final day at The Renaissance Club.

World number two Jon Rahm picked up his first since his triumph at the U.S. Open last June with a win at the Mexico Open. Rahm went wire-to-wire but it was hardly plain sailing in the final round for the Spaniard. Rahm had salvage par on the par five 18th to finish on seventeen-under for a one shot victory. "Today was a battle," Rahm said. "But I got it done."
