The 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill was a one of the best golf tournaments of the 2023 season. Packed galleries and crowded fairways all four days with cheering golf fans made for a great weekend finish. On Sunday concessions stands where running out of food and, by 2pm, I could not even get a Coca-Cola.
It was a roller coaster final round with a changing leaderboard. Six different players shared the lead the final two hours. Jordan Spieth took the lead but missed a series a putts losing an opportunity for a win. Rory Mcllory had a string of birdies to take the lead but had two errant tee shots destroying his chances.
Kurt Kitayama made a come back to hold a solid lead an recover from a few bad shots to shoot a closing 72 to win with a easy tap in par at 18. He earned a $3.6 million dollar payday moving up to 19th in the world.
