The pair went to a sudden-death playoff after completing the first U.S. PGA TOUR regular-season event in South Korea tied at 9-under 279. Cameron Smith of Australia finished one stroke back in third place at 8-under with Whee Kim, the highest placed finisher of the 16 South Korean players in the field, finishing fourth at 7-under after closing with a 72. Thomas won five times times last during the 2016-17 season, including his first major at the 99th PGA Championship, which he won in August.
