Spice, who recorded a final total of 18 under par 270 strokes, won the championship by overtaking Charlie Hoffman (USA), second place with two strokes.
Spies has won a 12-win trophy on the PGA Tour in 3 years and 9 months since the opening in July 2017.
Spice, who started as a joint leader, ended the first half with a second hitting lead by reducing three strokes, including two consecutive birdies in the beginning. On the other hand, Hoffman, who cut three strokes in the first half, caught three birdies with Spice in the second half, but could not narrow the gap any further.
Spice won a tie for fourth at the Phoenix Open in February, a tie for third at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, and a tie for fourth at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March.
Kim Si-woo (26), who reduced 4 strokes, was tied for 23rd with Lee Gyeong-hoon (30) (4 under par), Choi Gyeong-ju (51) was tied for 30th (3 under par), and Roh Seung-yeol (30) was tied for 54th (even par), and Kang Seong-hoon ( 34) tied for 59th place (1 over par).
