Has Jhonattan Vegas won a major championship? Past record explored

Jhonattan Vegas never won a major tournament, and his last closest finish came at the 2016 PGA Championship with a T22. His last major appearance was at the Masters Tournament in 2025, where he failed to make the cut line.

Vegas has only four PGA Tour victories as of now, including the 2011 Bob Hope Classic, the 2016 RBC Canadian Open, the 2017 RBC Canadian Open, and the 2024 3M Open after scoring 27-under, 12-under, 21-under, and 17-under, respectively.

Jhonattan is playing at the PGA Championship and sits atop the leaderboard with 8-under. He shot 64 with nine birdies in total and 70 in the second round of the tournament with four birdies. Following the event, he joined a press conference and described his second-round playing experience. He said, via ASAP Sports:

“Solid round today, a little bit up and down. I would say more than I would have liked. I feel like finishing so late yesterday, not getting a great sleep, and having to come back early kind of put me not in the best mood all day. Like I said, it was tough coming back.”

Vegas will play the third round of the tournament on Saturday.
