11 years ago Chez Reavie was considered a rising star. Then he disappeared. In the past year he had showed signs of regaining his form, and definitely served notice with his tie for 2nd at the PGA championship one week ago.
Seven days later he wins the Travelers.
"It means everything," Reavie said. "I went through some injuries, had some long years there in the middle. But it was great, because it gave good perseverance and good perspective of what life is and what golf is."
Hannah Green, who also battled injury problems over the past year, also shocked the golfing world with her 1st win on the LPGA — a major championship.
Perhaps the biggest shocker was the tie for 2nd place at the Travelers by Zach Sucher, who cashed a check for $633,000 exactly one week after missing the cut at a Web.com tour stop.
