Isaiah Salinda entered the final round of the Korn Ferry Tour’s Panama Championship tied for the lead at 7 under with Wil Bateman.
By Sunday afternoon, Salinda was hoisting the trophy after winning by a staggering eight shots. It’s the largest margin of victory on the circuit in seven years.
Salinda bogeyed the third hole but then birdied Nos. 4, 6 and 11 before an eagle on 12. He then punctuated his win with a birdie on the closing hole to get to 12 under and post a 65 to seal first professional victory.
