Seung-Yul Noh wins his first at the Zurich Classic

Published

on

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.

Testing Lorem Ipsum

Published

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Photos from the 2026 PGA Championship

GolfWRX is on site for the second major of 2026: The PGA Championship from Aronimink in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

The tournament’s location, just outside Philadelphia, and its status as a major championship mean GolfWRXers are in for a treat: WITBs from a strong field, custom gear celebrating the PGA Championship, and the rich culture of the City of Brotherly Love — we have noted a relative absence of cheesesteak-themed items thus far this week, but most of the rest of the usual suspects are well represented.
