OLD WESTBURY, N.Y. – Jhonattan Vegas needed a good Sunday at The Northern Trust, and not just for his playoff and Presidents Cup fortunes.
After virtually ruining his title chances with a 2-over 72 on Saturday, Vegas birdied two of his first three holes in the final round on his way to a 65 to move to 9 under par and tied for third place, which assures both a trip to East Lake and Liberty National for Presidents Cup matches.
But while he was pleased with his play, he took greater solace in his family’s safety after an eventful few days back home in Houston with Hurricane Harvey closing in.
