Barracuda winner lavishes praise on Els and Goosen and calls for a brandy and coke
Erik van Rooyen claimed his first PGA Tour title when he won the Barracuda Championship in California on Sunday, and said he would celebrate in typical SA fashion with a brandy and coke.
“Obviously this was the next step for what I wanted to achieve. I’ve got big aspirations, and winning on the PGA Tour was certainly part of that. I’m really, really happy.” “It’s massive. It’s been a difficult 18 months for me golfwise. I haven’t been playing well. There’s been glimpses of it the last six months. But I haven’t been able to put four good rounds together. To win here under the conditions, you know, the pressure that I was under, I’m going to take so much confidence from this.
Van Rooyen joins Garrick Higgo and Branden Grace as winners on the PGA Tour this season. The last time three South Africans won in the same season on the PGA Tour was in 2010 with Tim Clark, Ernie Els and Louis Oosthuizen.
