Seung-Yul Noh wins his first at the Zurich Classic

22-year-old Seung-Yul Noh became the seventh first-time winner of the 2014 PGA Tour season, claiming victory at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Noh entered the tournament ranked No. 176 in the Official World Golf Rankings, but his play in New Orleans indicated a much greater upside. After bogey free rounds of 68-65-65, Noh shot a final-round 71 in blustery conditions that gave him a 2-shot victory over Andrew Svoboda and Robert Streb.

The early stages of the tournament were headlined by the play of Ben Martin, who fired a course-record 62 on Thursday and a 67 on Friday to take a 3-shot lead into the weekend. Martin would falter on Saturday, however, with a third-round 73 that dropped him four shots off Noh’s pace. Martin shot a 75 on Sunday to finish T15.

Noh began Sunday’s final round at 18-under, giving him a two-shot cushion over Keegan Bradley, but he made his first bogey of the week on Sunday’s opening hole. Bradley carded a four, closing the gap by one and pulled even with a birdie on No. 2. A bogey on No. 5 and a triple on the No. 6 spelled the end for Bradley’s bid at a win, however, and he went on to finish T8. Noh, meanwhile, regained his dropped shot with a birdie on No. 8 and played 1-under golf from there to cruise to victory.

The victory earned Noh more than $1.22 million and 500 points toward the FedEx Cup. The young pro hails from South Korea and has been competing in the U.S. as a professional since the age of 19. Prior to his most recent victory, he laid claim to just two top-10 finishes and six top-25s in 38 events played on the Tour.

Noh, who wore a ribbon honoring those lost in the tragic South Korean ferry disaster earlier this week, told CBS Sports’ Peter Kostis following the victory he hopes the win can bring happy energy to his fellow countrymen as they mourn the loss of nearly 200 of their own.

The Zurich Classic took place at the Pete Dye-designed TPC Louisiana in Avondale. The par-72 layout yielded no shortage of birdies and boasted a cutline of 2-under. Those unable to play their way to the weekend included Ernie Els, Mike Weir, Camilo Villegas, Chris Dimarco, Rickie Fowler, Kevin Stadler, Patrick Reed and the defending champion Billy Horschel.

With the conclusion of the Zurich Classic, the Tour ramps up for next week’s Wells Fargo Championship at the famed Quail Hallow in North Carolina. There, Derek Ernst looks to defend his title against Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy and many other of the game’s top talents.

A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 21. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.

As we say every year, there’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18 if you can.

Let’s get to the gifts.

Ghost Golf Qualifier Diamond Polo

We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great. You can wear them on the course, in the office, or just out at a casual event and they will fit right in.

Why Golf: Putting Thing

When it comes to practice, it is good to have a purpose. This “Putting Thing” sure does it. We know from personal experience how challenging it can be and how rewarding it is on the practice green.

OluKai Lae‘ahi Men’s Breathable Slip-On Shoes

Riding to and from the course in style and comfort is always a good thing. If you’re in a hurry, it’s a nice feature to slide into your shoes and get to the tee time. For the post-game shoe, at your locker or while putting your clubs away in the car. Nice to slide into a shoe that looks good anywhere. Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!

A little wellness goes a long way. Keeping loose is a good way to go when it comes to the weekend game or treatment during the week. If there is a little ache or pain, the Theragun is there to help out. Help loosen up the back for a pre-game warm-up or cool-down.

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @HuskerFlyer is sharing a Scotty Cameron GOLO with a BGT Stability Tour2 2022 M Edition shaft. While the putter is certainly enviable, the Augusta-inspired shaft is equally noteworthy.
