Bid for second Tour win comes up shy
January 12, 2025
Jaeger finished in a share of third place after shooting a three-under 67 in the final round of the Sony Open in Hawaii.
ANALYSIS
Jaeger was in great position to win his second PGA Tour event following his fourth birdie of the day at the 14th hole. That took a hit with a bogey on the tough par-4 16th. Jaeger came to the gettable par-5 18th needed to make birdie to get into a playoff. He would then pull his tee shot into the fairway bunker. Jaeger decided to get aggressive and take on the lip, but his ball smacked right into it and ended up in the left rough. Jaeger's third went over the green and he was unable to pitch in for the birdie. Jaeger ranked top-10 for the week in SG: Approach, SG: Around-the-Green and SG: Putting. What he will remember, however, is how much he struggled off the tee at 71st for the tournament. Last year's Houston Open winner will look to shake that off and get back in the mix at his next tournament. Jaeger is not listed in the field for The American Express.
