There's never a bad time for a win, but Billy Horschel's victory at the AT&T Byron Nelson netted him a major start and put him in great position for another.
Horschel jumped 32 spots in the Official World Golf Rankings to No. 44 with his playoff win over Jason Day. The jump was a timely one given that the top 60 in this week's rankings earned exemptions into next month's U.S. Open.
Horschel was not yet qualified for Erin Hills and facing a trip to sectionals. Instead, he's fully exempt for a tournament where he has finished T-32 or better each of the last four years.
