Daily Recap – April 20, 2025

News

The drought is over! Justin Thomas birdied the first playoff hole to with the 2025 RBC Heritage for his first PGA Tour win since the 2022 PGA Championship. Thomas played bogey-free golf today with four birdies (including the playoff), 3 of which were 13 feet or longer. Thomas wins for the 16th time on the PGA Tour, and is just the 7th golfer to win 16 or more tournaments before his 32nd birthday.

Erin Routliffe and partner Gabby Dabrowski cruised to a straight-set win in the finals of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix for their first win together since the 2024 WTA Finals. Routliffe and Dabrowski win for the fifth time as a team. The duo had struggled since making a deep run at the Australian Open, going 1-4 in the four following events. Routliffe played and won with a different partner two weeks ago, so the Porsche is her second-straight win on tour.

Benedetta Moresco finished a career best T-11th at the JM Eagle LA Championship. Moresco’s final round 65 today was also her career-low round on the LPGA Tour.

Peyton Wilson extended his hitting streak to 14 games today after a 4-for-5 performance with 3 extra base hits and 3 RBI.

Sam Praytor stole two bases today, which match career total prior to today.
