Brian Stuard's benefits from earning his first PGA Tour victory at the Zurich Classic were numerous: spots in the Players Championship, PGA Championship, WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, Tournament of Champions and the Masters - not to mention the two-year exemption.
But Stuard also saw his world ranking skyrocket as a result of his overtime victory at TPC Louisiana over Jamie Lovemark and Byeong-Hun An.
Stuard rose 370 spots in the latest rankings to No. 143, near his career high (No. 112) achieved in May 2014. It also marked Stuard's first appearance inside the OWGR top 200 in nearly 12 months.
