Yesterday was one of those rare

“Hello World” moments when a huge takent becomes a winner on the PGA Tour for the first time.

20-year old Aldrich got his first win at the Mortgage Rocket Classic after battling with his putter to grind out the victory.

South African born but growing up in Perth Australia, he turned professional at 18 after winning the Amateur Championship. He was the youngest winner on the Korn Ferry Tour and on the PGA Tour he leads in driving distance at 338.5 yards average and in strokes gained off the tee. A win after an up and down year where he missed nine cuts but also came second in Mexico.

The next big player in the new generation has arrived.
