2024 Mitsubishi Electric Championship highlights

Steven Alker's performance at the Mitsubishi Electric Championship included two eagles, 22 birdies and only one bogey on hole 8 of the first round. The Kiwi was coming off a win at the Charles Schwab Cup Championship in November to close out the 2023 season.

Alker stood out at the Mitsubishi Electric Championship for his stunning ability to reach the green in regulation, with an impressive 90.74% (49 out of 54). This coupled with his putting skills (1.65 putts per GIR) paved his way to victory.

This is Alker's eighth win on the PGA Tour Champions, which includes a Senior Major tournament (2022 KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship). In that same year, he was named the tour's Player of The Year.

Steven Alker has rediscovered his career as a professional player on the PGA Tour Champions, as his eight victories have come in just two seasons. He previously played on the PGA Tour and other circuits, with limited success.

The runner-up at the Hualalai Golf Club was Harrison Frazar, four strokes behind Alker. The best player of the 2023 season, Steve Stricker, finished in third place with a score of 20 under.
