Kevin Yu Wins First PGA Tour Title

Kevin Yu claimed his first PGA Tour title at the Sanderson Farms Championship, executing a 15-foot birdie on the final hole and another in a playoff to defeat Beau Hossler. Yu, who finished regulation tied at 23-under 265, had been overlooked during much of the day as Hossler and Keith Mitchell battled for the lead. Mitchell missed a crucial par putt that would have secured him a spot in the playoff, while Hossler struggled with his drive in the playoff, allowing Yu to take the victory. This win qualifies Yu for the Masters and the PGA Championship, marking a significant milestone in his career. Hossler remains winless in 200 Tour starts, and Mitchell missed another opportunity to capture his second title. Yu expressed gratitude for his family's support, emphasizing the importance of this victory in his golfing journey.
