It was an amazing show by Emiliano Grillo. The world number 80 has largely flown under the radar but has shown impressive talent.

Not only did he skip the rest of the field, but he also survived a playoff with two-time PGA Tour winner Adam Schenck. It took Grillo more than seven years to get his second win this weekend.

He said via Golfweek:

“They say the second is harder than the first and it certainly was.”

Strange sightings on the 18th.

Grillo also said this about winning the Charles Schwab Challenge:

“He made it all worth it. The playing, all the hours of practice, the effort of my family. It makes you think when you first started playing all the feelings come out of your head. It was tough, but worth every second.”

Scotty Scheffler, currently ranked No. 1 in the world, should feel good about his outing, too. He finished second in the PGA Championship and second today, but it was a stellar run for him. With John Rahm not playing, he will keep his place on top of the world for the time being.

Ricky Fowler was facing the loss of his membership on the PGA Tour not long ago. Now, he’s put in some solid performances, including a T6 in the Charles Schwab Challenge.

Akshay Bhatia is still looking for his membership, but his 56th place probably doesn’t hurt his chances of making it to the end of the season.

Finally, Harry Hole turned his -7 start in the first round into a -7 finish on the final day of the Charles Schwab Challenge. He put up T3 – the best ever position of his career.
