Sami Valimaki wrapped up the PGA Tour season Sunday by becoming the first player from Finland to win a tour event at the RSM Classic in St. Simons Island, Ga.
The solo third-round leader, Valimaki birdied the par-5 15th hole at Sea Island Golf Club's Seaside Course to break a tie with Max McGreevy, who went out early and posted a 7-under 63 to get to 22-under 260.
Valimaki proceeded to par his way home and sign for a 66, a four-round score of 23-under 259.
Not only did the win secure Valimaki a two-year exemption on tour, it catapulted him 23 spots to No. 51 in the FedEx Cup Fall points standings. Nos. 51-60 in points qualify for the first two big-money signature events of 2026.
That was also reason to smile for McGreevy, whose Sunday surge into second place was projected to push him to No. 60 in the standings.
Ricky Castillo did McGreevy one better by firing a final-round 62, rocketing him to third at 21 under. However, he was projected to finish the points race No. 102, just outside the top 100 who are guaranteed to retain full tour status for next season.
Colombia's Nico Echavarria fired a 65 to get to 19 under for the week, and his tie for fourth with Lee Hodges (66) and South Korean Si woo Kim (66) boosted Echavarria from 62nd to 55th in points, entering him into those first two signature events.
