Kieron van Wyk, a 23-year-old South African amateur golfer, made history as the first amateur to win an APGA Tour event at the Farmers Insurance Invitational in San Diego.

Van Wyk seemingly pulled off the improbable in the second and final round of the APGA Farmers Insurance Invitational when he shot one-under-par 71 in cold and breezy conditions, and then made two straight birdies on the South’s par-5 18th hole to prevail in a three-man playoff.

Harris English first flirted with fame at the Farmers Insurance Open a decade ago when he shared the third-round lead and was part of a four-man playoff for the 2015 championship. Jason Day came away the winner that year at Torrey Pines, but English was encouraged, not discouraged.
