NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Former Vanderbilt standout Luke List had the biggest moment of his professional career Saturday.
In a playoff with Will Zalatoris, List birdied the par-5 18th to win the Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego, California. The 37-year-old claimed his first PGA Tour victory in his 206th start after being five shots back of the lead going into the final round.
List (BA’07) is the second Vanderbilt golfer to ever win on the PGA Tour joining nine-time champion Brandt Snedeker.
