Vegas comes from behind to claim first win of the season
(RELEASE) - Nike athlete Jhonattan Vegas shot a 12-under 276 at the RBC Canadian Open at Glen Abbey Golf Club to clinch his second career PGA Tour victory. Vegas ended the tournament with three consecutive birdies to tally a final-round 64. The win qualifies Vegas to compete at the PGA Championship next week.
“It’s incredible,” Vegas said of earning his second career PGA Tour win. “It’s a fun feeling. This is what you train for, this is what you spend every moment at home for. I’m just super excited.”
The Venezuela native utilized an entire bag of Nike equipment, including a Nike RZN Tour Platinum ball, to finish with 23 birdies, tied for the most in the entire field.
