Billy Horschel Secures Victory in Corales Puntacana Championship and PGA Championship Spot
Billy Horschel’s triumphant victory at the Corales Puntacana Championship not only secured him his first win on the PGA Tour in two years but also earned him a coveted spot in next month’s PGA Championship. The 37-year-old golfer put on a stellar performance in the final round, carding an impressive 63 to finish at 23 under par and claim the title.
Horschel’s path to victory was paved with four consecutive birdies on the front nine, followed by an eagle on the 12th hole that helped him pull away from the competition. A crucial 18-foot birdie putt on the 16th hole further solidified his lead and ultimately sealed his win.
Despite a strong challenge from Wesley Bryan, who finished as the runner-up, Horschel remained composed and focused throughout the round. Bryan, who was bogey-free with four birdies, was unable to match Horschel’s exceptional performance and fell short by two shots.
For Horschel, this victory holds special significance as it marks a return to form after a challenging period of low confidence and missed opportunities. With this win, he not only secures a spot in the PGA Championship but also sets himself up for future success on the tour.
Horschel’s resilience and determination were on full display as he navigated the course with precision and composure, showcasing his talent and skill as a seasoned professional.
