What a way to get PGA Tour win No. 1.
Kevin Yu, the 26-year-old who went to Arizona State, knocked off Beau Hossler in a playoff Sunday to capture the 2024 Sanderson Farms Championship at The Country Club of Jackson. Yu birdied the 72nd hole to tie the lead, then he stuffed his approach shot on the first playoff hole before burying the birdie putt to knock off Hossler and earn his first tour victory.
For his effort, Yu will take home $1.368 million, and he also moves into No. 60 in the FedEx Cup standings, the last spot in with six events left in the fall. Nos. 51-60 will each spots in two signature events in 2025, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and the Genesis Invitational.
