MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Winning the first PGA Tour title of his career at the St. Jude Classic isn't enough to earn Fabian Gomez a trip to the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay.
Being fully exempt through the 2016-17 season is more than enough.
"Winning a tournament is a big thing because you have two-year exemption and after that probably play a little less stressful every week and not thinking too much 'Keep your card,' you know," Gomez said Sunday after winning the St. Jude Classic. "Just only win another tournament."
Gomez knows personally how tough it can be to keep that tour card.
