Billy Horschel isn't shy about showing his emotions on the course, and Sunday was no exception as he defeated Jason Day in a playoff to win the AT&T Byron Nelson.

Brittany shared a lengthy note with her more than 2,000 followers, one in which she shared she has been battling alcoholism for more than a year. That included a two-month stint at an outpatient facility in South Florida, during which time her husband played regularly on the PGA Tour while caring for their young daughter, Skylar:
