BLAINE, Minn. – Six weeks after winning the NCAA Division I men’s golf individual title with Oklahoma State, Matthew Wolff wrapped up just his third tournament as a professional.
He took home a trophy and a PGA Tour card.
Even if the 20-year-old Californian was playing the 3M Open on a sponsor’s exemption in a field with far more accomplished players, Wolff’s time as an amateur provided plenty of experience to sharpen both his competitiveness and confidence. That sure showed Sunday afternoon on the 18th green at TPC Twin Cities.
“I was born for moments like these,” Wolff said. “I live for moments like these.”
Wolff made a 26-foot putt from the fringe for an eagle on the final hole to close out a 6-under 65 and finish at 21-under 263, beating Bryson DeChambeau and Collin Morikawa by one stroke in a tense finish to the first-time PGA Tour event.
