In remarkable storyline, an amateur playing in his first PGA Tour event has strong shot to win in Puerto Rico

Written By Rianna Harris

Van Wyk, 22, currently is playing his senior season at Charleston and would immediately earn a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour with a victory. He’d be the first golfer to win on the APGA and PGA Tour and would join Cameron Champ (who has three wins) as the only Black players other than Tiger Woods to win since the last victory in 1986 for 14-time champion Calvin Peete.
