“Today was great,” said Maybank. “The weather was brutal, so shooting 68 makes this one of the best rounds I’ve ever played for sure. This win feels great. To shoot three under on the back nine in some of the toughest tournament conditions I’ve ever played in was pretty clutch and feels really good.”

It feels really good to win because these are two really difficult courses with so much history. It’s a great feeling to get a win so early into 2022.”
