Jhonattan Vegas ended a seven-year drought with a thrilling victory at the 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities. Battling through persistent shoulder pain, Vegas sank a crucial birdie putt on the 18th hole to secure a one-shot win, finishing at 17-under par.
This marked his fourth PGA TOUR victory and first since 2017, following a challenging period marred by elbow and shoulder injuries. The win catapulted Vegas from 149th to 66th in the FedExCup standings, likely earning him a spot in the Playoffs.
It also granted him exemptions into prestigious tournaments and secured his TOUR status through 2026. Motivated by a desire to win for his young son and family, Vegas' triumph showcased the transformative potential of a single week on the PGA TOUR, reinvigorating his career and proving his resilience in the face of adversity.
OLYMPIC GOLF TEES OFF
Teeing off this week, the Olympic golf tournament in Paris brings together top stars and inspiring underdogs.
While Scheffler and McIlroy headline the event, compelling stories abound - Villegas' emotional comeback, Girrbach's unlikely Swiss debut, Tosti's Argentinian dream, Valimaki's journey from military service, and Pavon's home-soil aspirations. These diverse paths showcase the true Olympic spirit. You can read more about these five remarkable golfers here.

RAHM’S LIV BREAKTHROUGH
Jon Rahm clinched his first LIV Golf victory at the UK event, edging out teammate Tyrrell Hatton in a dramatic finish at JCB Golf & Country Club. The win marks a turnaround in Rahm's 2024 season, which had been marred by disappointing major performances since joining LIV.
Despite consistent top-10 finishes in LIV events, this victory provides validation for Rahm's controversial move from the PGA Tour. Shooting a final-round 67, Rahm finished at 13 under par, emotionally dedicating the win to his family after a challenging year personally. This triumph not only ends Rahm's drought but also bolsters his standing in the evolving landscape of professional golf.
A 56 min YouTube video getting over 9 Million views in under a week is pretty remarkable. For reference, the final round of The Open championship drew 3.39 million viewers. Take a look at this Break 50 challenge with Former President Donald Trump on Bryson DeChambeau’s Youtube Channel to see for yourself the video that has captivated the golf world.
