Jacksonville resident Jim Furyk wins in PGA Tour Champions debut
Furyk became the first player since Miguel Angel Jimenez in 2014 to win in his start on the 50-and-older circuit. Im the 19th person to come out and win their first event on the PGA Tour Champions, Furyk said. Warwick Hills was one of his favorite stops on the PGA Tour when it hosted the Buick Open until a decade ago. He played five times on the PGA Tour over the last two months, making three cuts. Just excited to be able to come out here first week and play so well and get a win, Furyk said Its an honor.
