American golfer Ryan Moore has won the CIMB Classic in Kuala Lumpur for the second straight year. A feat not managed on the PGA Tour since Tiger Woods won the Arnold Palmer Invitational in 2012 and 2013.
Sunday’s final round at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club proved eerily similar to the event in 2013. With Moore once again battling Gary Woodland for the title. In the end, the results were a reflection of the year before as Moore finished at 17-under 271, 3-strokes ahead of runner-ups Woodland, Sergio Garcia and Kevin Na.
31-year-old Moore held on during a stellar final round that saw him card eight birdies as well as land a couple of amazing approach shots.
“It was incredible to finish the way I did coming down those last few holes,” Moore told reporters afterwards. “I like to tell myself all the time that ‘I am a closer. Let's just do what we can, hit good shots and let's close this thing’ and I was able to do that.”
With an arsenal of top TaylorMade equipment, including the
TaylorMade JetSpeed Driver and the
TaylorMade Tour Preferred Wedges, Moore is hoping the momentum from his fourth PGA Tour career win translates to more impressive finishes in 2015.
