After nearly seven years, Jhonattan Vegas is back on top of the PGA Tour! Vegas, playing through elbow and shoulder pain, overcame a tough start to win the 3M Open in Blaine, Minnesota, with a dramatic birdie on the 18th hole. Vegas, who finished at 17-under, edged out Max Greyserman, who had a blistering 8-under round on Sunday. “We’re just trying to have a great week and obviously a great week turned into a win. I’m out of my head right now, so it’s incredible,” said Vegas, still reeling from his victory. His win comes after a long struggle with injuries, limiting him to just seven starts last season. “I felt it right away on the first hole… It was a nightmare,” said Vegas, revealing his ongoing discomfort. Despite the pain, Vegas managed to stay calm and avoid major mistakes, proving his resilience. Greyserman, a PGA Tour rookie, made a valiant effort with his impressive 63, capped by a birdie on the 18th hole. “At that point in the tournament you’ve just got to go for it, so I just went for it,” said Greyserman, describing his bold approach on the final hole. This victory, Vegas’ fourth PGA Tour win, breathes new life into his career and puts him in a strong position for the upcoming playoffs. “Nothing feels better than this,” said Vegas, expressing his pure joy and relief.
