Aldrich Potgieter is redefining the term long driver on the PGA Tour.

Aldrich Potgieter, the youngest player on the PGA Tour, picked up his first Tour victory Sunday at 20 years old in dramatic fashion and secured a life-changing payday in the process.

For Aldrich Potgieter, Sunday at Detroit Golf Club was about ensuring he never became one of those stories. It took 77 holes. Five playoff trips back to familiar fairways.

But Potgieter discovered that leads evaporate quickly when pressure mounts. Throughout a relentless Sunday, the leaderboard remained fluid—at one point, a dozen players clustered within two shots.

Aldrich Potgieter won his first PGA Tour title at the Rocket Classic in a playoff. Potgieter sank a 17-foot birdie putt on the par-3 15th to secure the victory.
