Peter Malnati, 36, won for the first time since the 2015 Sanderson Farms Championship. He broke down as his son ran to him on the 18th hole.
PALM HARBOR, Fla. — A year of unlikely winners has found its most joyful champion yet — Peter Malnati, who won the Valspar Championship on Sunday for his first PGA Tour win since 2015. Malnati began the day two strokes back of the lead, in a mix of names vying for the trophy. After a final round 67, to finish 12-under for the week, Malnati was lifting his son Hatcher in his arms on the 18th green and tearfully sharing his story.
” “You wonder if you’re ever going to do it again.” The emotions come out as reflects on his second TOUR win . — PGA TOUR Cameron Young provided drama, tying Malnati at 11-under. But the latter, playing a group behind the former, birdied No. 17 right around the same time Young’s tee shot on 18 was drifting horribly left, denying him a birdie look. He ended up three-putting for bogey and finishing solo second, still looking for his PGA Tour win.
