It was his day. A birdie at 18 to bring Beau Hossler into the play-off, another birdie for victory on the 19th hole of the day, a first coronation on the PGA circuit at 26: Kevin Yu will forever remember this Sanderson Farms Championship, which ended Sunday evening.
Hot on the green, however, he contained his emotions: “It’s boiling inside but I try not to show it too much. I came out of a little break which did me good, I was mentally exhausted, frustrated, with the impression that nothing good could happen to me for months. I’m living a dream. It’s every golfer’s dream to win on the PGA Tour. My parents sacrificed a lot for me. My father taught me to play golf when I was 5 years old. And there are only three players from Taiwan to have won on the PGA Tour. I’m proud to be part of it.”
