They bought Danny Lee stock on the futures market, and no doubt would have been cheering louder than anyone as the 24-year-old fired seven straight birdies to make the turn in the final round at the El Camaleon Golf Club in seven-under par 29.
And they, more than anyone, would have felt the disappointment of three bogeys on the back nine that took him out of contention.
Based on his amateur record, which rivalled the likes of Jordan Speith and Tiger Woods, Lee was supposed to be the next big thing.
Second and third placings on tour this year is encouraging, but he was paid like he was the next superstar of golf and the latest effort did not come without its red flags.
In the aftermath, he spoke of having nerves on a tough back nine and faltering because the Advil he had taken for a sore back began to wear off.
In any case, the result will see him climb 53 places on the Fed Ex Cup money-list to No18, leaving him in excellent position to qualify for most of the PGA Tour events in 2015.
It's worth asking though - with the amount of money that has been poured into his development and the hype which accompanied his move to turn professional - just what does Lee have to do for his career to be considered a success?
