Look at five career PGA titles for Brian Gay

At 48 years old, Brian Gay of Fort Worth, Texas is off to the Masters. Just not the Masters in 2020, but the Masters in 2021. On Sunday, he became the latest winner on the PGA Tour. Let’s take a look at the five career PGA Tour titles for Brian Gay.

5) 2008 Mayakoba Golf Classic. In only the second PGA Tournament in Mexico in the 2000’s, Gay won his first career PGA Tournament in Playa del Carmen. He defeated Steve Marino by two strokes. What made the victory special for Gay, is that it was his first win in 293 PGA Tour starts. Gay was initially a PGA Tour rookie in 1999.

4) 2009 Verizon Heritage. In South Carolina 11 years ago, Gay shot a four-round score of -20, and beat England’s Luke Donald and American Briny Baird by 10 strokes. It was the largest margin of victory in the history of the event, which started in 1969. Two years after losing to Gay, Donald would be number one in the world.

3) St. Jude Classic. Less than two months after Gay’s win at Hilton Head, Gay beat Bryce Molder and 2001 PGA Championship winner David Toms by five strokes to win the St. Jude Classic from Memphis, Tennessee. Gay shot a four-round score of -18, and won the event before it was part of the World Golf Championships. Gay qualified for the 2009 U.S. Open by winning the tournament. He was one of eight golfers on the PGA Tour that year who won twice. Gay was joined by Americans Steve Stricker, Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, Kenny Perry, and Zach Johnson, along with South Korea’s Yong-eun Yang, and Australia’s Geoff Ogilvy.

2) Humana Challenge. At the 2013 Humana Challenge (now known as the Desert Classic, and previously known as the Bob Hope Classic), Gay had a marvelous four-round score of -25, and beat Sweden’s David Lingmerth and American Charles Howell III in a playoff.
