Hilton Classic Final Round

Pierre Pineau delivered a clinical final-round performance to claim the 2026 Hilton Classic title, securing his first professional victory in four years. Starting the day just one shot off the lead, the Frenchman carded a brilliant 5-under-par 67 to finish at 10-under overall.

After a steady front nine, Pineau faced a moment of pressure following a bogey on the 11th, but he responded with a sensational run of four birdies in his final seven holes to pull two shots clear of the field. The leaderboard saw significant movement as several players mounted late charges.

Andoni Etchenique produced a bogey-free 67 to finish as the runner-up at 8-under, while Ireland’s Paul McBride climbed into solo third at 7-under after matching the day's low score of 67. Overnight leader Aron Zemmer struggled to find his rhythm in the final holes, finishing in a tie for fourth alongside Jacopo Vecchi Fossa, Mark Power, and Curtis Knipes at 5-under.

Pineau’s emotional victory earns him a $18,000 winner's check and cements his position as a top contender as the tour prepares to head to Qatar later this month.
