Xander Schauffele, who won the Olympics in Japan, shot a 7-under 64 to win once again in Japan - a country where his mother grew up and where he has many connections.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Schauffele totalled 19-under 265 over four rounds and finished one shot ahead of American Max Greyserman, who was the runner-up for the second straight year and is still chasing his first PGA Tour title.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Schauffele has maternal grandparents living in Japan and his mother has roots in Chinese Taipei and grew up in Japan. His mother-in-law is also Japanese, and his wife is half Japanese and grew up in Japan\u2019s southern island of Okinawa.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Schauffele and his wife Maya became parents just over a month ago with the birth of a son.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
