Finally, Bud Cauley is a winner on the PGA Tour.
Cauley held on late to claim the RBC Canadian Open on Sunday afternoon. He posted a 5-under 65 in a rainy final round at TPC Toronto, which gave him a two-shot win over the rest of the field.
The win was the first of Cauley's career, and it came in what was his 239th PGA Tour start. Before Sunday, Cauley had never finished better than third since he earned his Tour card back in 2012. Only four other guys on Tour have had more starts without a win.
The win also secured him a spot into the U.S. Open next week. Cauley, who entered the tournament at No. 68 in the Official World Golf Rankings, needed a fifth-place finish or better to earn a spot in the field at Shinnecock Hills.
Cauley entered the final round a shot back after his 66 on Saturday. Jackson Suber birdied the final hole on Moving Day to take the solo lead, but he quickly fell back on Sunday to open the door for the rest of the field.
