PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- Until Sunday, about the only thing Scottie Scheffler and Brice Garnett had in common was PGA Tour status and serving together on the Player Advisory Council last year.
Brice Garnett was No. 535 in the world when he faced 132 players — only seven of them from the top 100, none higher than No. 69 — in the Puerto Rico Open. He struggled to hold back tears after he made a 15-foot birdie putt on the fourth playoff hole to win. The entire purse for Puerto Rico was $4 million. Garnett won $720,000, slightly less than the payout for the two-tie for sixth at Bay Hill.
