Schauffele voted PGA Tour Rookie of the Year

With two wins, four top-10 finishes and 20 made cuts in just 28 starts, Xander Schauffele was voted the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year on Tuesday over Wesley Bryan, Patrick Cantlay, Mackenzie Hughes and Grayson Murray.

Schauffele was voted as the clear-cut winner of the award by his fellow PGA Tour members after winning The Greenbrier Classic in July and then becoming the first rookie to ever leave the season-ending Tour Championship with a victory just a couple weeks ago, where he held off FedExCup champion Justin Thomas with a birdie on the final hole.
