Results Recap January 23rd

Welcome to the results recap by Golfscale, your go-to source for all things professional golf. This week, we're recapping the LPGA Tournament of Champions, the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, and the American Express.

LPGA Tournament of Champions

Brooke Henderson put on a dominant performance at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions in Orlando, Florida, taking home the championship with an impressive 16 under par. Despite the windy conditions on Sunday, she was able to stay in the lead and finish the tournament on top. Maja Stark of Sweden and Charlie Hull of England tied for second place, but it was Henderson who truly shined. With this win, she is now poised for a big year ahead!

Abu Dhabi

Victor Perez had an incredible win in Abu Dhabi, holing a bunker shot on the 17th to finish with a one shot lead. Conditions were tough on the back nine, but Perez managed to hold his nerve and claim the first Rolex Series event of the year.

Min Woo Lee nearly forced a playoff with a pitch in eagle on 18. In a must make situation, Min Woo put his chip shot to just inches away from the hole. Let's hope this is just the start of big things to come for Min Woo this year!

American Express

Jon Rahm started off with a bang, birdieing the first two holes and looking like he was on his way to another win following his victory at Kapalua to start the year. But after a streak of pars and a bogey on the back nine, Rahm found himself in a tight battle with Davis Thompson and a host of other players. In the end, Rahm held on for the win, with a couple of clutch pars to close it out.

The low round of the day belonged to Xander Schauffele and Erik van Rooyen, who both shot 62 - with Xander even making an albatross on the par 5 5th hole. Meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler, just outside the Top 10, was one stroke away from becoming world No. 1.
