PUERTO PLATA, Dominican Republic (12/20/20) — Thirteen months after missing a putt to extend a playoff at the VISA Open de Argentina, where he was distracted by a fan with Down syndrome who yelled at a critical moment, Temple University alum Brandon Matthews found redemption with a five-shot win at the PGA TOUR Latinoamérica's Puerto Plata Open.

Leading by four after a third-round 63, Matthews proved impossible to catch Sunday at Playa Dorada Golf Course. The 26-year old from Dupont, Pennsylvania, never led by less than three shots, and a final round, 6-under 65 led him to a comfortable five-shot victory.
