WATCH: Clinging to lead, Matt McCarty drives par 4, makes eagle in winning first PGA Tour event

In search of his first PGA Tour win and leading by one, Matt McCarty laid down the hammer at the Black Desert Championship.

McCarty, playing in his third career Tour event and two holes removed from his first bogey of the final round, drove the par-4 14th.

With 297 yards to the green and 310 to the flag, the 26-year-old hit the perfect 3-wood, nestling his ball inside 4 feet of the hole.

McCarty made the eagle putt to increase his advantage to three shots, which was his winning edge as he added two birdies and a bogey to his card the rest of the way.

This marked McCarty’s second Tour event since being bumped from the Korn Ferry Tour following a three-win season (he also played in the 2022 U.S. Open).
