JT Poston missed a 6-foot putt for par on the 17th hole (he eventually bogeyed) to cut his lead to two shots. Dough Ghim birdied the next hole to pull to within one stroke, adding to the suspense at the end of the Shriners Children's Open.

Poston had also missed an 8-foot putt for birdie on the 16th hole. However, he was more fortunate in the clutch and holed the four-foot putt for par on the 18th to seal his victory at the Shriners Children's Open. It is Poston's third career PGA Tour victory and his first since 2022.

Following his performance at TPC Summerlin, Poston had this to say to the PGA Tour News Service:

"I just told myself, 'This is what you dream of, a putt to win on the PGA Tour. Try to forget the last two' I told myself, 'I’ve made a million of these. Just do one more.'"

Michael Kim tied his career-low score (62) in the fourth round of the Shriners Children's Open to climb 23 spots and tie for fifth.
