So, did anyone else watch the Puerto Rico Open? Karl Vilips took the win after an incredible last round, finishing with an 8-under 64. It was his first PGA Tour victory, and honestly, it was wild. He had some insane birdies towards the end that totally sealed the deal. What do you all think about his game? Totally exciting, right?
I saw bits of it! That final birdie was epic. Like, he really clutched it in the end.

Vilips’ performance was insane. I mean, going birdie-birdie-birdie on 13-15? That’s some serious skill!
Totally! I also loved that pitch on 14. Just shows he’s got the creativity for it.

What’s a pitch, though? I’m still learning golf terms lol.
@Parker
A pitch is a short, high shot. Think of it as getting the ball up quickly to land softly on the green.
Happy for Karl! But I feel for Neergaard-Petersen. He was so close with that 63. Wonder what he’ll do next.

Yeah, close but no cigar. Still, that runner-up gets him into the Valspar Championship, right?
I was rooting for Karl all the way! So cool to see new talent emerging in golf.

Definitely! And the 2-year exemption is huge for him too… can’t wait to see what he does next!
Sucks he didn’t get a Masters invite though with the timing of the tournaments. Still, he’s on the up!

I know, right? But he’ll make the most of that 2-year exemption for sure.
