Celebrating the Florida Gators victory over Mississippi State with a clutch finish at Wentworth, Titleist Brand Ambassador Billy Horschel closed out his second career BMW PGA Championship by playing his final four holes Sunday in birdie-birdie-birdie-eagle.

    The ex-Gator, playing his Pro V1x model ball, NEW GT3 driver, blended set of Titleist irons and Vokey SM10 wedges, birdied his final two holes of regulation to card a 5-under-67 and reach 20 under for the week. He birdied the par-5 17th to get within one of the lead before nearly holing his third shot – a 91-yard wedge from the fairway – on the 72nd hole to force a three-way playoff.

    On the first extra hole, Horschel got up-and-down for birdie from the greenside bunker. On the second, he striped his tee shot and flushed a long iron into the center of the green to set up the tournament-winning eagle.

    For the 74 holes he played this week at Wentworth, Horschel made 26 birdies (1st in the field) and two eagles, including a stretch of seven birdies in a row on Saturday between Nos. 8-14 en route to a moving-day 65.
