The 15th hole was the toughest hole during round one with a Fortinet Threat Score of +0.36.
Matt Kuchar made it look easy, making one of only 8 birdies at that hole.#FortinetThreatScore | @Fortinet

TRINGALE PLAYS WELL IN LIV GOLF FINALE
Finishing off another solid year in the LIV Golf Series, Cameron Tringale won both of his matches and shot the best round of his HyFlyers team in the stroke play final round as the 2023 schedule came to a close at Trump Doral in Miami last weekend.
Tringale defeated Jason Kokrak, 2&1, in his quarterfinal match and then downed Patrick Reed, 4&3, in the semifinals. In Sunday’s team finish, he tied for 12th place with a 2-under-par 70 as his HyFlyers team finished eighth and failed to advance.
Tringale finished 16th in overall points and accumulated $5,384,584 in earnings for 2023.

DUVAL MOVES ON IN SCHWAB CUP PLAYOFFS
David Duval will continue on the Charles Schwab Cup playoffs following his tie for 16th place last weekend at the Dominion Energy Charity Classic in Richmond, Va.
Duval moved up to 66th in Schwab Cup points with his 4-under-par total of 212. He tied for 11th in the final regular season event, the SAS Championship, to slide into the top 72 necessary in order to qualify for the playoffs. He has cumulative shot 12-under-par over those six rounds.
David Duval had to shift his mindset for the final regular season event @SASChampionship.
His gritty comeback earned him a spot in his first Schwab Cup playoffs where he competes this week @DECCGolf as No. 71 on the standings.@david59duval pic.twitter.com/AZUpDueI0M
