Playing in an event hosted by a living legend with another one charging hard in his rearview mirror, Billy Hurley III would have been excused if he had folded in the moment Sunday.
Instead, he rose to the occasion and walked away with his first career PGA Tour victory.
The 34-year-old Navy veteran carded a two-under 69 in his final round at the Tiger Woods-hosted 2016 Quicken Loans National, bringing his overall score to 17 under to best runner-up Vijay Singh by three strokes. The win was Hurley's first since the 2010 Terry Moore Ford Open on the Hooters Tour.
