Edan Cui made three birdies and no bogeys on the back nine en route to winning the Christmas Classic at Del Monte Golf Club at 7-under with rounds of 66-71.
Cui thrived on the back nine over the weekend, tallying 8 birdies and no bogeys. He made birdies on holes No. 10, 12, and 13 to take the lead and secure the win.
“I love coming back to Del Monte,” said Cui. “I haven’t played here in about two years, and the greens are known to be super tricky. I love playing here.”
Cui had William Chang chasing him who shot a pair of 69’s to finish at 6-under for the tournament.
“Now I know I have what it takes, and it was really good practice,” said Cui.
