ZECHENG DOU BAGS THE BAHAMAS GREAT EXUMA CLASSIC

Almost a year and a half after his first Web.com Tour Win, Zecheng “Marty” Dou took home another title in style by draining a 55-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole to erase any doubt. The putt gave Dou a two-stroke win in the first event of the year at 18-under at The Bahamas Great Exuma Classic at Sandals Emerald Bay.

It was a perfect day for the final round, Dou tallied five total birdies, including the final three holes to reach 27 for the tournament, edging Steve LeBrun for the most over the four days. Since graduating from the Web.com Tour in 2017, Dou admitted to losing an edge mentally on the PGA Tour last year. While Dou referenced winning at many levels of golf through the years, this was an emphatic first—to come from behind with three closing birdies and the long putt at the 18th to slam the door on a potential playoff.

The win earned Dou 500 points and an early lead atop The 25, giving him a big start in his attempt to return to the PGA Tour. Dou edged Ben Kohles and the 40-year-old LeBrun, who both ended two strokes back at 16-under. Kohles carded the round of the day to get into contention at 8-under 64. A quartet of players finished T4 at 15-under: Willy Wilcox, Rob Oppenheim, Steven Alker and John Oda.
