2019 U.S. Open champion Gary Woodland won the Houston Open Sunday, marking his first win since he claimed his major win at Pebble Beach and the first since undergoing brain surgery in 2023 for a cancerous lesion. Woodland also revealed in a recent Golf Channel interview that he's suffered from PTSD since the surgery.
Woodland dominated the field at Memorial Park Golf Course, winning by five over Denmark's Nicolai Højgaard. It was an emotional victory, with the fans aware of the moment, chanting his name before and after he sank his winning putt:
My take: What it's all about. The man has an incredible game, too. Powerful player, accurate. If he gets confidence, he can beat anyone. He may never win one bigger than this though.
