After failing to make it to the weekend in four of his previous five starts, Nicholas Lindheim found the winner’s circle.
The 31-year-old held on Sunday at the Utah Championship, firing a 2-under 69 – his fourth consecutive sub-70 round – to take the title by two shots. Lindhelm earned his first Web.com Tour victory thanks to the 15-under total, and rocketed from 83rd to 14th on the Web.com Tour money list.
But to bill this as anything but unexpected would be misleading.
Lindheim did win on PGA Tour Latinoamerica in both 2014 and 2015, but only managed a 51st-place showing last year on the Web.
