Erik van Rooyen may have just got his career back on track after winning the World Wide Technology Championship, a victory that gives him a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour, but there was only thing on his mind on Sunday evening – getting home to see his best friend, Jon Trasamar, who has terminal cancer.
Van Rooyen played just about perfect golf on the back nine at El Cardonal in Mexico to chase down and then pass overnight leaders Camilo Villegas and Matt Kuchar, coming home in 28 shots to win by two shots with a spectacular eagle on the 72nd hole.
