Qualifier wins on PGA Tour
GREENSBORO, N.C. — Mondays just became a lot less stressful for Arjun Atwal.
He will no longer have to play early week qualifying events just to make it into tournaments.
Atwal took care of that by winning the Wyndham Championship.
He won by one stroke Sunday, becoming the first Monday qualifier to win on the PGA Tour in 24 years.
After leading or sharing the lead after each of the first three rounds, Atwal shot a 3-under 67 in the final round. He finished at 20-under 260 and earned $918,000 — or, more than double the amount he previously earned this year, the reason why his future on tour was in jeopardy.
David Toms (64) was 19 under. John Mallinger and Michael Sim shot 62s to match John Rollins (65) and Justin Leonard (65) at 18 under.
