What did Will Zalatoris have to say about his Farmers Insurance Open loss?

According to Zalatoris, his feelings are quite similar to what he was feeling back on the Kon Ferry Tour. If all goes his way, Zalatoris might actually take home his first-ever PGA Tour win. “The emotions are a bit from Korn Ferry (Tour), right before I got my first win. I horseshoed one from about 15 feet and then won the next week,” Zalatoris said after List won.

Of course, if the 25-year-old puts his mind to it, he can win a PGA Tour title.

Notably, the event that Zalatoris lost by one shot was the 2020 Utah Championship. A week later, he went home with a TPC Colorado Championship win.
