Jim Furyk is one of the most under-appreciated golfers in the game today — he’s been hanging in the top 10 in the World Golf Ranking for years but hasn’t come away with a tournament win since the Tour Championship in September of 2010. Until today, that is.
This afternoon Furyk found himself in a playoff with Kevin Kinser at the RBC Heritage in South Carolina, and won the tournament with a slick birdie putt on the second hole of the playoff. And when it went down — actually, before it went down, Furyk celebrated like a madman after finally breaking through for a win:
