Emiliano Grillo Wins Charles Schwab Challenge | #GrilloWins #CharlesSchwabChallenge #PGATour
Emiliano Grillo won his second PGA Tour title on Sunday, shooting a 6-under 66 to win the Charles Schwab Challenge by two strokes. Grillo finished at 19-under 269, two strokes ahead of Viktor Hovland and Daniel Berger.
Grillo, who is from Argentina, started the final round in a tie for the lead with Hovland. Grillo took the lead for good with a birdie on the 10th hole and never looked back. He closed with three consecutive pars to secure the victory.
It was a big win for Grillo, who has been struggling this season. He had missed the cut in three of his previous four tournaments. But he played some of his best golf of the year on Sunday, hitting 15 of 18 greens in regulation and making 10 birdies.
"I'm just really happy," Grillo said. "I've been working really hard and it's finally paying off."
Grillo's win is a big boost for his confidence and his hopes of making the Ryder Cup team. He is currently ranked 50th in the world and needs to move up the rankings in order to make the team. But a win like this will certainly help his chances.
"This is a big step in the right direction," Grillo said. "I'm just going to keep working hard and hopefully I can make the Ryder Cup team."
Grillo's win is also a big win for Argentina. He is the first Argentine to win on the PGA Tour since Angel Cabrera won the Masters in 2009.
"It's great for Argentina," Grillo said. "I'm really proud to be able to represent my country."
Grillo's win is a great story for all involved. He is a talented player who has had some tough breaks in his career. But he never gave up and he finally got his breakthrough on Sunday. It will be interesting to see what he can do the rest of the season.
