Congratulations to Vincent Norrman for becoming the Barbasol Championship 2023 Champion!
The 25-year-old rookie, hailing from Sweden, showed nerves of steel as he lipped in an 8-footer for bogey on the 72nd hole to force a playoff with Nathan Kimsey, a seasoned player from the DP World Tour making his PGA TOUR debut. Talk about a dramatic finish!
In the sudden-death playoff, Norrman and Kimsey battled it out. Norrman once again showed some impressive scrambling skills, saving par on the playoff hole. Kimsey, unfortunately, couldn’t quite keep up and settled for a bogey. And just like that, Vincent Norrman emerged victorious, claiming his well-deserved first PGA TOUR title!
Norrman’s journey to this victory has been quite remarkable. He played one year at Florida State before spending four years at Division II Georgia Southwestern. Now, here he is, lifting a trophy on the PGA TOUR in only his 23rd career start. Incredible stuff, isn’t it?
The playoff might have been tense, but it was a thrilling way to finish an already exciting tournament. Trevor Cone and Adrian Saddier also put on an impressive performance, finishing just one shot behind the leaders.
And let’s not forget about veteran Lucas Glover, who showed us he’s still got it! He led after the first and second rounds and finished alone in fifth place with a streak of 12 rounds in the 60s – all since he switched to a long putter. Way to go, Lucas!
Congratulations to Vincent Norrman on his first PGA TOUR win! It’s moments like these that make golf so incredible. The unexpected triumphs, the clutch shots, and the indomitable spirit of the players. So, until the next exciting tournament, keep swinging those clubs and enjoying the game we all love!
