HUMBLE, Texas – The term journeyman gets thrown around a lot in golf parlance. It can be applied to players of varying ability, sometimes attached simply to those without name-brand recognition.
For Jim Herman, though, it’s an appropriate tag. At 38 years old, his journey has been a meandering one, filled with far more valleys than peaks.
But after a self-described whirlwind final round at the Shell Houston Open, Herman’s journey has now taken him to the rarified air of PGA Tour champion. It also will include an extra destination: Augusta National.
