Colombian golf star Nicolas Echavarria has plucked one record from the golfing legend Tiger Woods by winning the ZOZO Championship in Japan this Sunday. After fending off competitors like Justin Thomas and Max Greyserman, Echavarria notched a final-round 67 to finish an impressive 20 under par. His aggregate score of 260 strokes edged out Wood's record by one a record Woods set with his last triumph on the PGA Tour in 2019.

More than just another tournament win, Echavarria's latest triumph at the ZOZO earns him a coveted spot in next April's Masters in Augusta and entry into May's PGA Championship at Quail Hollow. Overjoyed, Echavarria shared, "I'm very excited to go to Augusta for the first time.
I've never been," and continued, "I was waiting to win myself that trip before going, and we've done that, so we're going to be very happy to play the Masters in a couple of months." "It's incredible to win a tournament that Tiger's won. This is my second victory, so I just need 80 more victories to catch him.
I'm on my way, though." Woods boasts an impressive record with his 15 major titles and a tie with Sam Snead for 82 PGA Tour wins,.
