Peter Malnutty (USA) won his first career victory on the PGA Tour in his late 20s. But his second win did not come easily. In the meantime, Malnutty got married and became the head of a family with two children.

On the 25th (Korean time), 3059 days after his first win, Malnutty brought out his son's favorite 'yellow golf ball' and won a thrilling victory. And he lifted his first son high into the sky before his trophy.

Round 4 on the final day of the PGA Tour Valspar Championship held at the Copperhead Course (par 71) at Innisbrook Resort in Palm Harbor, Florida, USA. Malnutty secured the victory by overcoming the last three holes, known as the ‘snake pit.’ Malnutty won by 4 strokes that day with a total of 12 under par, 272 strokes. He tasted the trophy again 8 years and 4 months, a whopping 100 months later, after recording his first win. “For the past nine years, I doubted I would be able to win again,” Malnerty said with tears in his eyes, adding, “It’s really surprising because I’ve had a hard time.”

A lot of things have changed with this one win. He received $1.512 million in prize money, and was able to participate in the Masters Tournament for the first time in his life. Additionally, with the rise in world rankings, the possibility of participating in other major tournaments has increased. The FedEx Cup ranking rose vertically from 77th to 16th. If you maintain it well, you can enter the ‘Top 50’ to participate in next year’s special competition.

Malnutty is famous for being a ‘foolish son.’ “My son likes the yellow ball. The yellow ball reminds me of my son and makes him smile. It’s pretty important to me,” he said, explaining the reason for using the yellow ball. Also, his loyalty to his friends stands out. Malnutty is playing wearing Lyle's favorite bucket hat to honor fellow player Jared Lyle (Australia), who passed away in 2018 while fighting leukemia.

In this tournament, Lee Gyeong-hoon was the only Korean player to succeed in placing in the top 10. On the final day, he lost 2 strokes with 5 birdies and 3 bogeys, recording a total of 7 under par 277 strokes, and finished the tournament in a tie for 9th place.
