Chris Gotterup shot 6-under 64 today to win what could be the final Sony Open in Hawaii PGA Tour tournament at Waialae Country Club.

Gotterup shot 16 under par for the event. He had seven birdies and one bogey today to win by two shots over Ryan Gerard, who was second at 14 under after shooting 65 today.

Patrick Rodgers also shot 65 today and finished the tournament third at 13 under.

“I just felt like this week I was in a good frame of mind and happy to be here, ” said Gotterup, who was in contention all four days, shooting 63-69-68-64. “Felt like I was driving it great and making putts.”

Davis Riley held a two-shot lead at the start of the final round at Waialae Country Club, but a double bogey on the front nine put him out of contention, and Riley finished tied for sixth at 11 under after shooting 71 today.

Defending champion Nick Taylor finished tied for 13th after shooting a final round 70.

This is Gotterup’s third PGA Tour victory.

It is not known if and when will have a chance to defend his title here, since it is not known if the tournament will continue.

The PGA Tour is considering shortening its season and part of that might be cutting its two Hawaii tournaments, as soon as 2027. Sony’s contract as title sponsor of this event ended with this year’s tournament and there has been no news of an extension.

The Sentry at Kapalua on Maui, normally played the week before the Sony Open in Hawaii, was canceled this year due to drought conditions and water rights issues on Maui.
