The golf world was understandably focused on the U.S. Open this weekend, but it wasn’t the only professional tournament going on in America. While Bryson DeChambeau was making history in New York, a former Arizona Wildcats star was doing the same on the opposite coast.
Jim Furyk birdied the first playoff hole Sunday afternoon at Pebble Beach Golf Coursein California, beating Jerry Kelly to win the Pure First Championship. In doing so, the 50-year-old became the third golfer to win his first two PGA Tour Champions events, joining Arnold Palmer (1980) and Bruce Fleisher (1999).
