Kitayama’s 20 weekend birdies were the most by a PGA Tour winner in over two decades, and a lot of those were set up by some remarkable approach play. Kitayama led the field in SG: Approach the Green on both Saturday and Sunday, gaining eight strokes on the field in the final two rounds. He hit 16 of 18 greens both days.
