CaddyBytes 🏆 2026 Ally Challenge Final Round Highlights: Steven Alker closed with a 4-under 68 to finish at 15-under 201 and win the 2026 Ally Challenge by three shots at Warwick Hills. Alker entered Sunday chasing 36-hole leader Michael Block, but steadily took control as the final round unfolded and finished the week with rounds of 68, 65 and 68.
Retief Goosen made the strongest final-round charge, firing an 8-under 64 to climb into second place at 12-under 204. Block, who had carried the lead into the final round after opening 66-65, battled through a closing 74 and finished tied for third at 11 under with Greg Chalmers and Stewart Cink.
The closing stretch featured plenty of movement behind Alker. Chalmers posted a 69 and Cink a 67 to join Block at 11 under, while Ángel Cabrera finished alone in sixth at 10 under after a final-round 70. Paul Goydos, Padraig Harrington, Thongchai Jaidee, Tim O'Neal and John Rollins shared seventh at 9 under.
Block briefly regained the lead on the back nine with a birdie that moved him to 13 under, but Alker answered and kept pressing. The finish reinforced Alker's reputation as one of PGA TOUR Champions' strongest closers: the victory was his second in as many weeks, his third of the season and the 13th of his PGA TOUR Champions career.
