On Sunday, October 6, Yu won the Sanderson Farms Championship by defeating Beau Hossler in a playoff. His maiden PGA Tour win not only earned him a paycheck of $1,368,000 but also 500 FedEx Cup Fall points.

Yu entered the Country Club of Jackson ranked 96th in the FedEx Cup standings. He had missed three cuts in his last five starts and finished outside the top 50 in the other two. However, this week marked a turning point for the 26-year-old from Taiwan.

Yu shot three consecutive 66s to enter the final round just two shots back. In the Sunday finale, he shot a 67 to force a playoff against Hossler. A clutch birdie on the extra hole sealed his first-ever win.

Following the Sanderson Farms Championship victory, Yu now sits at 60th in the FedEx Cup Fall standings, while Min Woo Lee, who wasn’t in action this week, slipped to 61st. For the uninitiated, players ranked from 51st to 60th on the FedEx Cup Fall Points List will qualify for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and the Genesis Invitational.
