The largest score on Admon’s record came in a PGT-qualifying event in 2021, when he placed fourth in the Wynn Millions tournament for $619,160. In 2020, Admon took second in an MSPT event at Venetian for just under $220,000. Although bigger scores in terms of dollar amount, Admon pointed out how good it feels to get a victory of this magnitude.

“It feels really, really good,” Admon said. “I’ve come close a couple of times and it’s not the same. I’ve actually had a bigger cash, but this feels a little bit better.”

Admon topped Jesse Lonis in heads-up play, with start-of-day chip leader Chris Brewer taking third place.
