Francesco Molinari Wins 2018 Quicken Loans National

In the final round of the 2018 Quicken Loans National, Francesco Molinari wins his first-ever PGA TOUR event by eight shots, matching the largest margin of victory this year. He adds this win to his five European Tour victories and nearly $8 million in career earnings on the PGA Tour. It was a dominating final-round, eight-under 62, that gave him his first career win in the United States in his 121st career start. Watch highlights in the video above.

Tiger Woods, who carded a final-round 66, finished 10 strokes back in a tie for fourth at 11-under 269. It was another week without that elusive 80th victory, but his finish is a good one in terms of grabbing the World Ranking points he needs to earn a spot at the WGC-Bridgestone in August. That event at Firestone, plus the Open Championship, are the only two events Woods plans to play between now and the PGA Championship. Another good finish, or a win, at Carnoustie should be enough for the 14-time major winner to get into Akron.
