Ortiz played the final round alongside a former No. He pulled ahead for good with a 6-iron so good the 29-year-old Mexican started walking after it on the par-5 16th. Ortiz had to settle for a two-putt birdie from 8 feet and he finished in style with a 20-foot birdie for a two-shot victory over Johnson and Hideki Matsuyama. The Houston Open was the first domestic PGA Tour event that allowed spectators during the coronavirus pandemic, with 2,000 tickets sold daily. This was about Ortiz holding off two players with plenty of experience winning and tasting it for the first time.
