Raymond Floyd's First PGA TOUR Check

Raymond hadn't won a red cent since joining the PGA Tour in early 1963, until he won at the St. Petersburg Open.

The PLAYER’S CHAMPIONSHIP, going into Sunday, featured an interesting leader board with some unknown names contending with some of the best. And at THE PLAYERS STADIUM COURSE at TPC Sawgrass, anything can happen on a Sunday, especially when the wind kicks up as the leaders approach the finish.

Congratulations to Scottie Scheffler who took control of the tournament after Min Woo Lee took a triple bogey on the 4th hole. Once Scheffler chiped-in on the par-3 8th hole for birdie and then ran off a string of four more birdies to build a 6-stroke lead, it was all over. As others fell to the vagaries of the weather and course conditions, Sheffler relentlessly made his way through the final holes for the victory.

Min Woo Lee needed a solo fourth-place finish to earn playing privileges on the PGA TOUR and made a gallant effort on the final holes, but could do no better than a tie for sixth. Tyrell Hatton had a finish for the ages, shooting a 29 on the back nine to finish in solo second.

Just two…
