It was a significant triumph, mainly as it came in just his third tournament since experiencing the disappointment of squandering a five-stroke lead on the back nine during his bid to win the Masters for the second consecutive year.

Finishing at an impressive 17-under 263, Jordan concluded the DEAN & DELUCA Invitational with a three-stroke advantage over Harris English, who posted a solid 66.

He sank a remarkable 7-foot birdie putt on the third hole of a playoff showcasing his remarkable skill and composure under pressure.

Unfortunately, Jason Dufner, who had made an impressive 25-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole during regulation play, missed a crucial 40-footer during the playoff's second visit to the 18th hole. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Scott capitalized on a 7-foot putt to seal his victory.

Scott and Dufner concluded the tournament with equally impressive performances, each shooting a four-under-par 66, resulting in a final score of nine under. Notably, this winning score marked the highest at Colonial golf course since 1999.

On May 19, 2014, Adam Scott ascended to the prestigious position of the world's number-one-ranked golfer. He became the 17th golfer to achieve this distinction since the inception of official rankings.

In an impressive comeback, Boo Weekley secured a long-awaited victory at the Crowne Plaza Invitational in Texas. That marked his first title in five years with a narrow one-shot lead.

Boo showcased his abilities by stringing together three consecutive birdies starting from the eighth hole. This remarkable performance propelled him into the lead, which he maintained until the end, ultimately finishing with a commendable score of 14 under par.

Throughout the tournament, Weekley demonstrated his proficiency by registering six birdies. Although he came tantalizingly close to a seventh birdie on the 18th green, his lengthy putt narrowly missed the left edge of the cup, stubbornly refusing to drop in.
